Institutions have a legal obligation under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 to ensure that a person with a disability can obtain IT and online course curriculum fully, equally and independently. Avoid a costly and time-consuming non-compliance investigation by ensuring online course curriculum, supporting IT software, websites and applicable vendors are vetted and compliant or appropriate accommodations are available.
Join us on Monday, August 26, 2019 as we examine online course curriculum development from start to finish to create an inclusive learning environment for students with disabilities. Our expert presenters — one a former OCR attorney and one a former OCR investigator and trainer — will share their extensive experience and knowledge of ADA compliance. This webinar is a must for your faculty, staff, IT and online course curriculum developers.
You'll be able to design courses to be accessible to all — including those who may have a wide range of disabilities, such as vision, hearing, learning, attention and mobility — to foster an inclusive and beneficial learning environment for all students. Navigate common curriculum development and online course pitfalls to remain compliant, avoid lawsuits and minimize student complaints and negative ramifications.
