Description
As higher education institutions prepare for accessibility compliance as required by the Department of Justice’s rule updated regulations for Title II of the ADA, higher education professionals face a critical opportunity—and responsibility—to ensure the accessibility of learning materials and strategies for all learners. This webinar, a collaboration between Teach Access, Every Learner Everywhere, and Northwest Higher Education Accessibility Technology group (NWHeat), introduces the foundational concepts of digital accessibility for students in the context of AI tools, focusing on how these technologies can both support and challenge access for learners with disabilities.
