Support Learning
Supporting Unrestricted Student Participation
Imagine…
How might it feel to use tech that is inaccessible? Imagine sending a text message from underneath your desk where you can’t see the screen; or turning your speakers off and watching an instructional webinar.
These scenarios might seem frustrating to imagine, but for learners who face learning technologies that are not accessible, it can be more than just frustrating — it can be a barrier to meeting course outcomes.
This website has been designed to provide KPU faculty and instructional staff with tools and strategies that can support technology accessibility provide students with more equitable learning experiences.
