Summary
Accessibility isn’t just compliance—it’s good teaching. In this session, we’ll explore how Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and accessibility work together to create more inclusive, effective Canvas courses.
You’ll get a practical introduction to UDL’s core principles, learn how recent ADA Title II updates are shaping digital learning, and identify common barriers in Canvas courses. Most importantly, you’ll leave with simple, actionable strategies you can apply right away—without adding more to your workload.
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- Explain the connection between UDL and accessibility
- Identify at least 2 common barriers in their Canvas course
- Apply one “plus one” strategy to improve access for students
