[Presentation] [UDL] Resources for Faculty on Universal Design of Learning

Holy amazing resource, Batman!

I'm so excited that this exists: EnACT's UDL-Universe site actually has two sets of guides under it's UDL-U Faculty Development Curricula that provide ready-made resources (including promotional materials and two-hour or 2-day workshop presentations for post-secondary faculty on Universal Design of Learning).

I know A LOT of other hectic post-secondary Accessibility Services offices like ours that will definitely benefit from this information. Share and enjoy.

[Workplace] - AT Resources for Employers

I just stumbled across a couple of helpful adaptive tech and accommodations-related resources for employers - I'll definitely be sharing these with our Career Services department!

[AT] connects has a web portal on Assistive Technology for Employers and Business:

I also couldn't help but embed the SOAR (Searchable Online Accommodations Resource) widget from JAN (Job Accommodation Network) on the left panel of this site - I can see it coming in very handy.

They've also compiled a listing of disability information and accommodations-related issues.
