Upon completion of this learning experience participants will be able to:
Explain the importance of implementing digital accessibility practices in the classroom
Recognize the concepts involved in universal design for learning (UDL)
Identify resources related to digital accessibility that are available at MSU
Discuss possibilities for making their new and/or existing courses accessible
