• In Event: Strategies to improve authenticitiy

Short Description

Students need basic digital literacies to complete a college or job application today. As a result, educators now have a new responsibility to develop all students’ digital literacies. In this session, we will describe a digital literacy online training program we developed for students with disabilities, discuss our design and development approach given the intended audience, report on a series of design experiments, and conclude by describing how the project evolved over time to train teachers.
