• In Event: D&D- Faculty Views and Goals of Using Accessibility Tools

Short Description

Ongoing increases in online enrollment – especially students from marginalized populations – are exhorting improvements in course accessibility with tools like Blackboard Ally able to assist. This study examines faculty perceptions and experiences with the tool, their main accessibility goals, and views on ultimate responsibility for accessibility at the institution. Results can help instructional designers, faculty, and administrators improve course accessibility at scale and further help to create a culture of accessible course design on their campuses.
