All different types of people, some with disabilities and some not, walking together.

In this session we will learn about Alternative Formats, what they are and how they can help remove barriers to learning for students with diverse needs while empowering student choice overall. We'll introduce a variety of formats and explain why each is important for creating a more inclusive learning experience. Participants will gain a better understanding of the various barriers alternative formats can address and how they can directly support greater access to course materials.  

Workshop Format: 20-25 minute presentation with demo followed by 5–10 minute Q&A with an Instructional Designer and an Instructional Technologist
