This workshop series will focus on a different accessibility technique each week. Each workshop will show how the skill you learn helps students learn, demonstrate how to do it in common programs, and then have time for hands-on work with your materials.
You are welcome to attend one, some, or all workshops. Pick the ones that you think are most important for your courses; connect with one of us in EdTech if you’re not sure. See below for Workshop Schedule, with titles and dates. All workshops will be on a Monday from 2:00 to 2:45 PM.
Workshops will be recorded and the recordings will be made available to Highline faculty, staff, and students.
