Dear Colleagues:
The first open CITLS event of the semester will be on Wednesday, October 4 at noon in 103 Ramer History House; lunch will be provided. We'll have a Technology Roundtable conversation with staff members from Instructional Technology and the ATTIC about ensuring the accessibility of teaching materials. [Co-Sponsored by Instructional Technology]
The next phase of implementation and enforcement of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 focuses on the accessibility of teaching materials on campuses. Some campuses are already facing legal action about this and so we'd like to try to get out ahead of things here at Lafayette. Some useful resources include the following:
-- Tulane's advice: https://accessiblesyllabus.tulane.edu/
-- Some Lafayette advice: https://help.lafayette.edu/taxonomy/term/160
Join us for a conversation on how and why to get your materials up to ADA compliance standards.
