An Introduction to Accessible and Inclusive Teaching  

After this session, participants will be able to draw upon current terminology to refer to disabled learners/learners with disabilities, explain the premise of Universal Design for Learning, consult various general and MSU-specific resources related to accessible teaching (e.g., MSU Resource Center for Persons with Disabilities), implement some “quick tips” and start developing good habits in order to make content and materials more accessible, evaluate the accessibility and inclusivity of the tasks/participation/interaction in their courses, and reflect upon some of the unique accessibility and inclusivity components relevant to teaching and learning in a pandemic.
