AEM Takeaways

The AEM Takeaway series is a collection of short and engaging learning modules on topics related to providing and using accessible materials and technology. Each module includes a brief video featuring an AEM Center team member explaining a term, concept, or practice, followed by a professional from the field who provides a practical perspective. With each module you’ll also find additional resources related to the topic. Use these to extend the video for training and professional learning in your state, district, university, job training program, parent center, or other setting.

Foundations of Accessible Educational Materials

The first three videos of the AEM Takeaway series introduce the concept of accessibility and how it applies to common materials provided in education. You’ll learn who benefits from accessibility and the definitions and differences among the terms “accessible,” “accessible educational materials,” and “accessible formats.”
