Accessibility 101

The Accessibility 101 instructional design project aims to address the lack of faculty awareness and knowledge about accessibility, which negatively impacts students, particularly those with disabilities. To foster more inclusive learning environments, an asynchronous, self-paced online course was developed to equip faculty with awareness, empathy, and practical skills. The course effectiveness was evaluated through pre- and post-surveys, revealing marginal improvements. Faculty reported increased confidence in accessibility and a stronger commitment to implementing the S.C.U.L.P.T. framework in their teaching practices.
