Subject: [ITACCESS] Universal Design for Learning Forum in Oregon

Hello,

Next month Thursday, May 24th from 9:00-1:00 at Portland State University, located in Oregon state.  We will offer a free Universal Design for Learning (UDL) discussion forum with faculty and keynote speaker Gaier Deitrich from California State Community College, High Tech Center Training Unit (HTCTU).

The discussion will focus on how faculty can implement changes in course content to remove environmental barriers for learners. Faculty workgroups will share there experience studying UDL and implementing the Center of Applied Science and Technology (CAST) rubric to the course design process.

Please see the Eventbrite invitation to RSVP and get more information. <https://www.eventbrite.com/e/universal-design-for-learning-forum-tickets-44348849603>

“The one argument for accessibility that doesn’t get made nearly often enough is how extraordinarily better it makes some people’s lives. How many opportunities do we have to dramatically improve people’s lives just by doing our job a little better?”  ― Steve Krug
