Digital Accessibility in Online and Hybrid Learning, around the concept of increasing student access to learning.
-
the concept of increasing access to education and educational material, rather than to the idea of accessibility.
-
we don’t actually say accessibility as much as we do instead use the term digital access, because for us, that includes things such as affordable learning, and OER, all of that actually falls into the scope of access on my campus.

Pass out course evaluations early in the semester and focus on making sure students can tell you care. If you wait until the end of the semester, struggling students may have dropped out and you won't have time to adjust your teaching style. Set clear learning objectives for each unit so students know exactly what to study and feel more in control of their learning. Without those, "We were training students not to show up for class, wait until two days before the test, and then cram," Holland said. "We wondered why students didn't retain any of the information." Create 10-minute videos for each objective that students can watch and show up to class prepared to discuss. When it comes time to review, a student can read the unit objective and watch the corresponding video. Give frequent quizzes, essays, and group work so both the instructors and students know where they stand and students stay engaged. Provide early, intrusive interventions like meeting with every student who scores below a 70 on the first test.

For now, we recommend waiting out the waves of accessibility standards implementation. Discuss implementation options with university stakeholders, but resist locking onto an approach until your institution's leadership has solidified a definite plan and enacted accountability measures. Throughout the often lengthy process of determining an accessibility action plan, your university may consider everything from requiring accurate captions for every video within the next year to encouraging best practices and collecting data on gradual standard adoption. Although it is important to hold discussions, we recommend waiting as long as necessary before locking into a specific plan; doing so avoids having to change training material and messages to faculty, such as whether accessibility implementation is "required" or "recommended."

Adopt a social justice model uniting UDL and accessibility with other student success initiatives. Create a culture that supports students with diverse learning and life needs. A social justice model supports equal opportunity for all students, especially historically disadvantaged groups. Although institutions must comply with ADA and Section 508, accessibility can go beyond the law to embrace critical values and beliefs about diversity and social justice.
