Accommodating Students with Disabilities in Online Courses

Presenting a uniform online course experience can be an enormous challenge as the student population becomes increasingly more diverse. Serving deaf, blind or other students with disabilities requires a deliberate approach to ensure course design is in line with proven standards.

Students with disabilities rely on assistive technologies to get through each day of their lives, and increasingly that life includes online courses. Accommodating Students with Disabilities in Online Courses provides a look at some of the challenges and solutions.

After just 60 minutes, attendees will have a firm grasp of assistive technologies and how they can function in concert with online courses. A proactive approach to accommodating students with disabilities can save money and open up new opportunities for students and institutions alike.
