A step-by-step guide for making online classes accessible - Meris Stansbury, eCampus News

The implementation guidelines are part of a recent report written by Dr. Cindy Ann Dell, assistant professor, Educational Theory and Practice at MSU; Thomas Dell, assistant professor, Rehabilitation and Human Services at MSU; and Dr. Terry Blackwell, professor and chairperson, Rehabilitation and Human Services at MSU; which aims to help other professors and curricular specialists in online learning implement UDL for teaching both general and diverse populations, including students with disabilities. The authors note that while, ideally, UDL allows students with disabilities to access courses without adaptation, it also helps to improve learning—and, therefore, retention—among all students. http://www.ecampusnews.com/top-news/guide-udl-online-188/
