Visiting Speaker: Low-Tech Teaching and Accessibility

-

Location: Room B01 McCourtney Hall

Workshops with Visiting Speaker Sarah Silverman: Working with Neurodivergent Colleagues in Higher Education (Tuesday, November 3) and Low-Tech Teaching and Accessibility (Wednesday, November 4)

Get ready for spring courses! This workshop will explore an important emerging question: How can instructors incorporating low-tech or no-tech approaches in the classroom ensure their courses remain accessible to all learners? Participants will reconsider some common assumptions about this topic and intentionally plan experiments in their own work around lower-tech pedagogy. A particular focus will be on ways to navigate access friction, or conflicts of access needs, that may emerge for students and instructors.

Visiting Speaker:

Neurodiversity and accessibility expert Sarah Silverman, the author of Classroom Mindscapes: An Introduction to Neurodiversity for Educators.
