Removing Dis from Disability
Facilitated by Dr. Keyonda Smith, Content Accessibility Lead
Disability, Accessibility, and Accommodations are significantly unique in heuristic meaning, theoretical framework, and pragmatism. Join Dr. Keyonda Smith, 2U's Content Accessibility Lead, as she explains how the difference between these terms is the key to ensuring that your course meets the needs of all learners. We will discuss how inclusion requires creating true accessibility through Universal Design, Equitable Instruction, and Inclusive Pedagogy. These three practices incorporate constructing content and learning environments for increased usability to meet the needs of the most ubiquitous group of learners, regardless of age, ability, or life status.
