The Accessible Learning Institute is an intensive four-day program designed to help participants identify and resolve accessibility concerns in their courses. In creating an awareness around physical and cognitive disabilities and the learning barriers often experienced by those students, the program hopes to increase the adoption of proactive approaches to course design that will reduce the need for students to request certain types of academic accommodations that could delay student access to information. The Accessible Learning Institute supports the university’s mission to provide quality and excellence in teaching that values a student-centered learning environment promoting inclusiveness, fairness, equity, and social justice. The program also aligns with the university’s values of fostering an environment of respect for all individuals, collaboration, and continuous program improvement.
