IS-02: Supporting Digital Pedagogy

Whether you teach face-to-face, entirely online, or in a hybrid mode, digital accessibility is a key piece of a professor’s toolkit. In this short, hands-on workshop you’ll practice making your course materials accessible to all. You’ll work in pairs, writing alternative text for images, selecting accessible color schemes, and altering written materials to use simpler language. This workshop is best for those with novice to intermediate experience in digital accessibility. Bring a computer or be ready to share.

In the digital age, educators can now create and share their own educational resources online. This interactive presentation will guide you through the steps to create a free and interactive Moodle course using accessible and open-source tools. This project is the result of a process that began prior to the recent discussions on the new ministerial Devis. The course aims to align high school practices with the new college Devis values, which are moving in the same direction. It was created by human intelligence; by teachers and for teachers and learners of second languages.
