Projects

I am very proud of this most recent project that was completed in February of 2024:

Inclusive Course Design: Strategies for Accessibility Certificate

I lead a collaborative effort of the Online Initiatives unit of the National Technical Institute for the Deaf (NTID) at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). The certificate is a transformative series of online, self-paced, micro-courses, that delve into understanding the diverse learning needs of students, creating accessible coursework, and leveraging a variety of accessibility tools. Through engaging content, practical tips, and interactive activities, this four-part series fosters understanding, strategies and actionable steps toward more inclusive and accessible courses and materials.

Course 1: Understanding the Student Experience

Course 2: Empowering Learning Through Ally's Alternative Formats

Course 3: Ensuring Accessible Documents

Course 4: Crafting Accessible Digital Media

Development Platform: Articulate360

Learning Management System: Cornerstone for RIT

Launch Date: 2/5/24
