Got 20 minutes? Then you can learn how to make meaningful accessibility enhancements to your courses.
Facilitated by campus experts, this hyper-focused series covers rapid, actionable digital accessibility fixes, providing maximum impact in minimum time to help you enhance teaching effectiveness, eliminate digital barriers, and support student success.
How It Works: The 20-Minute Blueprint
Every session follows a What, Why, How format. This one will cover:
- What: Providing accurate text alternatives for all audio and video content.
- Why: Captions are a necessity for deaf or hard-of-hearing students, but they are also heavily utilized by multi-taskers, non-native English speakers, and students studying in noisy environments.
- How: How to generate, review, and quickly edit auto-captions in your video platform (Zoom) to fix spelling and academic terms in under five minutes.
To help you save even more time, we will also highlight smart strategies for leveraging generative AI to fast-track these accessibility fixes wherever possible.
You’ll leave every session not just with awareness, but with a practical skill you can apply to your Canvas site or instructional materials before your next class begins.
