Join us this summer for sessions on Course Design & Digital Accessibility Updates. These sessions will help if you’re teaching a summer course or getting a head start
on fall course prep.
Digital accessibility is more important than ever. You may have heard about recent updates to deadlines related to federal accessibility
laws. Wondering how this impacts you and what actions you will need to take for your
upcoming courses? Join us for a webinar where we’ll share updates and answer your
questions.
Course Design. As you prepare your online courses, we encourage you to consult the Quality Standards for Online Courses (QSOC). These guidelines can help you structure your course to set students up for success
in the online learning environment.
