In my work helping to develop policies on accessible workplace technology, I have sometimes fallen into the trap of looking just at the “little picture.” By that I mean that sometimes I’ve focused too much attention on making sure that information and communications technology is (ICT) is compatible, or interoperable, with assistive technology specifically screen readers. I know I’m not the only one who has made this mistake, because I come across a lot of information suggesting that once a website is found to work with a screen reader or another type of assistive technology, the accessibility discussion can simply end there. Millions of people around the world use assistive technology, so it is understandable that interoperability is a very important issue. But it sometimes commands so much attention that we forget to look at the “big picture” of fully accessible ICT or the biggest picture of all, universal design.

From set up to ideas for classroom use, free, easy-to-use web-based student response apps and programs accessible from iPads, Android tablets, computers and other devices for teaching and assessment will be demonstrated. Learn how to utilize programs (from apps allowing you to run video, sound and drawing tools in a quiz on iPads, to programs that can be run from any and all devices at the same time from the Web) to keep students from falling behind, give them a voice in the classroom discussion, generate reports and monitor progress, even during the classroom lesson.
