Emory College Strategies for Online Teaching

This article looks at how Chickering and Gamson's Seven Principles of Good Practice in Undergraduate Education (1987) can be applied to the online classroom.

This article breaks down some terms and nuances of online teaching that would be helpful when designing a course.

I like the way this gives a lot of information but by using bullets makes it a quick and useful read.

Great storage area for many videos and materials in the CAST domain.

Piece from _Kairos_, a flagship journal in writing studies, about how principles of universal design can make writing pedagogy "more flexible, more inclusive, and more challenging."

High school students talk about what teachers do and don't do to engage them in learning.

Researchers are saying the most pervasive learning disability in schools--and the major challenge for UDL--is emotional--changing the perspective of tuned out students.

This is a succinct summary of the UDI goals in creating a course.

The focus that I respond to is on UDL being an expansion of the way we learn and teach, not a separate idea.

Georgia Tech Research on Accessible Distance Education (GRADE) is a research project at the Georgia Tech Center for Assistive Technology and Environmental Access (CATEA). Provides actual modules showing how courses that present challenges due to their nature (engineering, mathematics) or inclusion of rich media can be designed to increase accessibility.

Since 1948 we have helped millions of students who are blind, dyslexic or have other learning disabilities achieve confidence and independence in the classroom and in life. More about our mission We work with our partners to raise awareness of learning differences.

When I was a graduate student, I volunteered with this organization (formerly known as Recording for the Blind and Dyslexic). I read fiction books and textbooks, recording in a booth on my own or with a director. Volunteers completed training to learn how to cue the audio reader to turn book pages, to transition between text and pictures or figures, and to indicate punctuations (ellipsis, quotations, subscript/superscripts, etc.). The experience helped me to improve the use of my voice in communicating to learners and the ways to chunk the information appropriate for visually impaired and dyslexic learners. As Learning Ally, the organization now offers professional development for teachers to help them with utilizing the wide range of audiobooks in their collection.

One of the best resources in the world for people form across the university who are interested in teaching writing. This site is an open resource for books, journals, and teaching modules.

Edutopia's compilation of OERs for writing. Among my favorites is Andrea Walsh's MIT course on expository writing: Analyzing Mass Media.

The uphill struggle to implement OER at a university.

A good general listing of resources on women's issues, but also has the ability to use the subject heading to research specific issues for women
