It鈥檚 profoundly the right thing to do

In Don’t Make Me Think: A Common Sense Approach to Web Usability, Steve Krug notes that making digital information accessible to everyone is 鈥渘ot just the right thing to do; it鈥檚 profoundly the right thing to do.鈥�

Why?

鈥淏ecause,鈥� Krug says, 鈥渢he one argument for accessibility that doesn鈥檛 get made nearly often enough is how extraordinarily better it makes some people鈥檚 lives. How many opportunities do we have to dramatically improve people鈥檚 lives just by doing our job a little better?鈥�

Developed and maintained by Instructional Design and Educational Assessment (IDEA Shop), this site is intended to help everyone at 青青草app State do their jobs a little better, in order to dramatically improve the lives of others. It is part of the IDEA Shop’s contribution to a campus-wide initiative to ensure that 青青草app is accessible to everyone and that digital teaching materials are usable by the largest number of people possible, under the widest variety of circumstances possible.

What you’ll find on this site

The site provides faculty, staff, and students with information and other resources about electronic accessibility and the principles of universal design for learning, focusing on the influence of both on teaching and learning. For faculty, the site provides tips, techniques, and strategies for incorporating accessibility and universal design into聽 teaching and learning, along with such resources as whitepapers, webinars, checklists, and guidelines. In addition, faculty can use the site to schedule consultations with instructional design consultants at the IDEA Shop to discuss the pedagogical aspects of accessibility and universal design for learning. Students will find here practical, current answers to questions about such matters as accommodation of students with disabilities, assistive technology, and campus resources.

This site has been built with two guiding ideas in mind:

• Accessibility is a civil right.
• Everyone鈥攊ncluding those with disabilities and those without鈥攃an benefit from accessible teaching materials based on the principles of Universal Design for Learning.
