9:20AM – 10:20AM ET on Thursday, January 30, 2020
Learn how to make self-created K-12 and higher ed STEM curriculum materials - including documents, graphics, and videos - accessible to all learners. The four accessible design principles of POUR will be applied to STEM-related course content through a series of material makeover demonstrations. Common examples of materials created by K-12 and higher ed STEM faculty will be first displayed in traditional formats, followed by POUR-aligned accessible versions. Skills covered in this session will include best practices for writing alt text and descriptions for technical images, charts, and graphics; creating closed captions and audio descriptions for video; the application of MathML in documents and websites to make mathematical and scientific notation accessible; and tools for making coding and basic computer science concepts accessible for all learners.

Webinar
3:00PM – 4:00PM ET on Tuesday, February 5, 2019
Ensuring that all learners receive accessible educational materials (AEM) in a timely manner requires a coordinated provision system. In this first webinar of a 5-part series, join AEM leaders from Iowa, Ohio, and Texas in a discussion about how these states implement NIMAS requirements for print materials and meet digital accessibility requirements for edtech. To get the most out of the webinar, please review AEM Quality Indicators 1 and 2 ahead of time. And because the process of providing AEM requires collaboration, gather your colleagues to watch the webinar together!
