Digital Accessibility Express: Accessibility in STEM Courses

-

Location: Zoom

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: Making math equations, scientific notation, and complex graphs accessible.
  • Why: Screen readers cannot interpret images of equations or raw typed text shortcuts properly; they require semantic code to read the math aloud accurately.
  • How: How to use the built-in Canvas equation editor or basic MathType features to output accessible math formats effortlessly.

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.
