Multiple Means of Expression

Providing opportunities for learners to vary how they demonstrate understanding has numerous advantages. However, it can present logistical difficulties for educators. To address this concern, we use this week to explore the technical side of accessibility and how contemporary technologies can expand our expressive options, both as learners and educators. By making documents accessible, it becomes routine to convert it into a different format.

Read Creating Accessible Content from the Australian Disability Clearinghouse on Education and Training. The reading includes Accessibility Basics, Accessible Documents, and Accessible Multimedia.
