Each Friday in May, you will have the opportunity to engage with expert presenters that highlight and celebrate being accessible, designing with educational technologies that work for everyone, working toward institutional compliance and designing your course to have a focus on inclusive course design. Not only will you be engaged and hear from experts, you’ll also hear from peers and students. Each Friday begins with a keynote presentation followed by the option of selecting one of three tracks during the Zoom session. Choose to attend a lightning round with four, 15-minute presentations, a panel presentation track or hear more from the keynote presenter. Afterward, engage with participants all month long in the back-channel chat.
