About the Accessibility and Learning Technologies Group

• Raise awareness among faculty and staff about accessibility and learning technologies:
  • Features and design choices that facilitate accessibility 
  • Features and design choices that hinder accessibility
• Provide practical solutions to accessibility barriers for learning technologies through materials (documentation, videos, tutorials, etc), events (workshops, presentations, demonstrations, etc.), and services (e.g., consultations)
• Collaborate with non-ALT colleagues (learning specialists, technologists, instructional designers, etc.) on projects, initiatives, and committees for which accessibility plays a prominent role (e.g., campus-wide captioning services)
• Participate through membership or consultation in University-wide accessibility initiatives (e.g., Committee for an Accessible University) to assist with matters pertaining to accessibility and learning technologies.
• Consult with student groups  to learn how we can serve the technological needs of students with disabilities at Penn.
