Dr. Sam Chandrashekar - Accessibility Program Manager, D2L

Description

Many of today’s higher education institutions already know how to utilize learning management system (LMS) analytics to promote self-improvement in instruction, student interaction and institutional frameworks. But your LMS also can enable instructors to make courses more accessible and effective for students.

In our new webinar, join D2L to explore strategies in universal design of learning (UDL) and to understand how D2L supports UDL through the design of its Brightspace LMS platform—and via third-party partnerships—to provide students multiple ways to gain knowledge, engage and demonstrate learning.

Webinar participants will learn:

  • In-depth details about D2L UDL features
  • Useful insights about universal design, including concrete steps to use it for your courses, provided by Dr. Sheryl Burgstahler of the University of Washington
  • Information about third-party integrations
