Basics of Inclusive Design for Online Education

This course provides instruction and strategies to support you in developing a course that is inclusive to students with a wide range of abilities, including students with disabilities. We cover effective practices to increase inclusion and avoid some of the common accessibility issues that can arise in an online course. In particular, Basics of Inclusive Design Online covers course organization, the accessibility of Microsoft Office and PDF documents, making course instruction pages accessible, captioning of videos, making images accessible, and designing for learning differences. We also discuss how inclusive course materials can help all students, including students without disabilities. This course will appeal to those who want both a broad overview of the range of accessibility considerations and also a step-by-step guide of how to check documents for accessibility, caption a video, or prepare course content for non-visual users.

What people are saying

interactive transcript feature displayed

I really liked the interactive transcript feature displayed on the course, I believe it models best practices!

other classmates takes away

Also, I would suggest to have accessibility experts evaluating our assignments--relying solely on other classmates takes away from the credibility of the course and does not allow for us to really know if our suggestions were truly pertinent.

at least 2 minutes

For instance, when captioning a video the duration time was not specified in the instructions, but the criteria said it had to be at least 2 minutes.

full time job *and*

It was difficult to balance the peer review requirement in such a small timeframe when I was also juggling a full time job *and* teaching in the evenings.

lot about making online

The concepts are interesting, and I learned a lot about making online materials accessible.

remote desktop running windows

It's disappointing that the Microsoft tools don't all function the same on Macs as they do on PCs (some functions were not enabled for Word on Macs, which made assessing others' work difficult at times when there were no immediate alternatives for people using a Mac that didn't have some form of windows or access to a remote desktop running windows).

can confidently recommend

I can confidently recommend this for anyone interested in inclusive educaiton Great course!

correcting another one

I would complete an assignment and then, when correcting another one, i would realize that the instructions did not fully correspond to the criteria.

discussion boards relating

Multiple comments in discussion boards relating to peer review that are unaddressed.

ensure timely feedback

If peer review is utilized as an evaluation process it must be actively managed to ensure timely feedback to all learners.
