Description
The Integrated Accessibility Retreat is a one-day retreat where you’ll learn how to incorporate accessible education practices into your course. With an overarching goal to reduce overwhelm, this retreat is for instructors at any level of accessibility confidence. Facilitators from the Centre for Teaching Excellence (CTE) and the Centre for Extended Learning (CEL) will be present to help you with your questions. The day will include mini presentations alternating with time to work on your course. The topics will include:
- accessibility in course design and implementation;
- Waterloo’s approach to accessible education requirements; and
- how to use the Postsecondary Course Accessibility Guide and other Waterloo resources.
This retreat is part of the Accessible Education Project within the Teaching Innovation Incubator (TII). Coffee and lunch will be provided by the TII.
