Students First! Accessibility for STEM (Math)
This event is Session 4 in the CVC Online Course Design Accessibility Webinar Series.
Description:
The first step is to ensure that students with disabilities see STEM as accessible to them, and that all students, can access all materials to learn. Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) courses have unique issues to solve when it comes to designing accessible materials.
Professor Kelly Spoon was bitten by the accessibility bug after she won a “Teach Access” Grant to create modules for her statistics course on accessibility for data visualization. While creating those materials, the light bulb went on! All materials in all courses need to be accessible. Join Kelly and our panel in discussing topics including Canvas built-in accessibility options, Desmos, PreText, and other tools important to accessibility in her math courses.
