Academic Success Tip: Train Professors to Make Content Accessible
The University of North Dakota opened an assistive technology lab in May, providing training and resources for faculty and staff members to promote universal design for learning principles in coursework.
For students with disabilities, coursework can be challenging to complete because it is delivered in an inaccessible manner. The University of North Dakota’s Teaching Transformation and Development Academy (TTaDA) seeks to provide assistive technology to the university community and promote access for all students.
In May, TTaDA opened an Accessibility Lab, in which professors and faculty members can work alongside instructional designers and academic technologists to create accessible content for learners.
