Accessibility Resource Kit for Professors and Educators
As of January 2013, the Government of Ontario requires Universities and Colleges in the province to provide accessibility training to all educators. This is a great opportunity to discuss best practices in teaching and learning. This guide offers an overview of inclusive teaching practices. As such, the following documents introduce tools illustrating strategies from which to articulate and guide course design and delivery. They should positively influence the professor-student interaction, the syllabus, the teaching/learning dynamic and the evaluation process. Also, you have access to two videos with student testimonials, where they describe their challenges and needs, as well as share their experiences and tips. Enjoy the readings and the videos!
