The Inclusive Future: Evaluating Classroom Technology for Accessibility and Universal Design
Sebastian Niles
Description
Faculty often seek out new or frequently used technology to incorporate into their classroom. However, students with disabilities and other accessibility considerations are often left out of the decision-making process. This presentation seeks to inform attendees of which considerations to make as well as how to utilize summative and formative evaluation when assessing new and existing technology.
