Thursday, February 22, 2024
12-1:30 p.m.
Online via Microsoft Teams
In response to the Accessibility Act, 新加坡六合彩开奖直播 has developed an Accessibility Plan, that outlines foci in six areas. Under the category for Teaching, Learning and Research, recommendations include educating faculty and staff on assistive technology (2.3) and investing in up-to-date assistive technology (2.8).
Assistive technologies can help remove barriers for students who use them. This workshop will help remove the mysteries around assistive technologies鈥攚hat they are, how they work, and how you can create learning environments compatible with these tools.
In this workshop, facilitators from the Centre for Learning and Teaching and the Student Accessibility Centre will demonstrate some of the most popular assistive technologies used by students, show us the accessibility features built into Dal鈥檚 instructional technologies (e.g., Brightspace), review the policies and procedures for students seeking accessibility support, including using the assistive technology lending library, and, of course, answer your lingering questions.
