Learn how to make your course materials accessible now and save time later! The objective of this hands-on training will focus on providing faculty with the basic skills to assess if their course materials are accessible and to learn how to easily make them accessible in order to support access and inclusion of students with disabilities and universal design for all learners.
Trainees should bring their laptop with Adobe Acrobat Pro or DC installed and at least one PDF document from their course materials to review. Direct instruction will be provided for both creation of an accessible document and remediation of inaccessible content using common authoring tools including Microsoft and Adobe products. For questions or to RSVP, contact Andrew Drummond, SDS Assistive Technology Specialist at adrumm@umbc.edu or reserve through the myUMBC event site. Space is limited.
