We aim to shine a light on the features and design choices that truly enhance accessibility in our learning environments.
It’s equally important to recognize aspects that may inadvertently create barriers.
**Provide Practical Solutions:**
We can empower our community with a wealth of resources, including informative documentation, engaging videos, and helpful tutorials designed to tackle accessibility challenges in learning technologies.
Hosting events such as workshops, presentations, and demonstrations to boost awareness and understanding of these crucial issues.
We’re also here to provide supportive services like consultations aimed at improving accessibility.
**Collaborate with Colleagues:**
We work with our colleagues across disciplines (including learning specialists and instructional designers) to drive initiatives where accessibility is a priority, like developing campus-wide captioning services.
**Engage in University-Wide Initiatives:**
Being involved in university-wide accessibility initiatives, such as the Committee for an Accessible University, enables us to address pressing accessibility challenges collaboratively.
**Consult with Student Groups:**
By engaging with student organizations, we can gain invaluable insights into the technological needs of students with disabilities at Penn. Together, we can make a positive difference!
