What EdTech can faculty use to create accessible content and support student success? - Part 2

Episode Summary: In Episode Five of the Innovate and Educate podcast, we continue our exploration of faculty answers to the question: “What EdTech can faculty use to create accessible content and support student success?” Listen as Susan Nolan, Ph.D., Professor in the Department of Psychology, talks about the ways that DSS and faculty support all students in accommodating varied learning needs and the use of microphones in a large classroom. We will also hear from Wendiann Sethi, Ph.D., Senior Faculty Associate and Director of Developmental Mathematics, Department of Mathematics and Computer Science as she talks about communicating, streamlining and chunking content. Finally, we will talk with Wyatt Murphy, Ph.D., Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry as he shares how to support all learners as they develop their scientific writing skills and providing context to scientific images and video.

Next month, we will finish the three-part series, this time focusing on how faculty help students prepare for their future work lives by learning about accessibility and universal design for learning principles.
