June 6th at a location near you!

 

 

 

 

Dear Valued Members,

 

The Engagement and Development Council is pleased to offer CEN's third quarterly training workshop on Thursday, June 6th, 10 am - 12 noon, at a location near you!

 

Accessibility is an important topic for everyone. Schools, libraries, and municipalities, and more are addressing the needs of accessibility but sometimes in different ways. With the advent of global accessibility standards and the push for uniformity in online accessibility, UConn is in the process of developing its own standards for universal digital accessibility. Many do not realize that online accessibility goes beyond the classroom to encompass all digital material.

 

This presentation will offer an overview of global standards, the broad and narrow applications of digital accessibility, technology used to address accessibility and accommodations, training and resources available for faculty, staff and students, and guidance on how to draft a plan for universal institutional accessibility.

 

Presenters 

Karen Skudlarek, Educational Technologist, Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CETL), UCONN

Kathryn Weber-Hottleman, IT Accessibility Coordinator, Information Technology Services, UCONN

Alyssa Marinaccio, Assistive Technology Coordinator at UConn’s Center for Students with Disabilities, UCONN

 

The event will be held at the following locations: 



·     CCSU, New Britain

·     WCSU, Danbury

·     ESCU, Willimantic

·     SCSU, New Haven

·     UConn, Stamford (parking fees apply)

 

 

The event is open to all CEN members. Additional details will be sent out to registered participants. 

 

 

 

Best Regards,
