Description
What does it truly mean to design accessible learning experiences—and how can we move beyond compliance to create inclusive, engaging content for every learner? Join as Katie Novak, internationally recognized expert in Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and inclusive practices and Jody Sailor, Sr. Director of Academic Strategy and Innovation at Instructure, sit down for an in-depth conversation about what it takes to build courses that are accessible by design. This session will explore how accessibility and equity intersect in course development, and how thoughtful, proactive design can transform learning environments for all students. From identifying common design pitfalls to rethinking course materials through a UDL lens, Katie will share practical strategies, personal insights, and real-world examples to help educators and instructional designers make accessibility an integral part of their practice.
