Instructional Accessibility Drop-In Support | Virtual Session

Join us for a drop-in session for Portland State Faculty about making course materials accessible.

As we gear up for the Spring term, join OAI for an informal Accessibility Drop-in Session. Accessibility can sometimes feel like a daunting checklist, but it’s really about ensuring every student has a equal access to their course materials. Whether you have questions about screen-reader compatibility, color contrast, or making your classroom more inclusive for neurodivergent learners, bring your questions and let’s work together to create equitable digital learning materials for all our students this term.

This session is offered in person and online. Select from the virtual session dates on this event registration page.
