Dear all,

Thanks for participating in this week’s TSC on Universal Design in Higher Education. 

Andrew encouraged us to use the next two weeks to reflect on our learning outcomes, asking the following questions:

1) What are the task my students are expected to perform in pursuit of this learning outcome?

2) What are the tools they need to perform these tasks?

3) How can I make sure that these tools can be used from multiple means of engagement?

4) How can I monitor that students are able to access those tools?

PS. My understanding is that ‘tools’ refers to the means by which students complete the tasks necessary to acquire information and develop knowledge.

Also here is a link to Sheryl E. Burgstahler's publication 20 Tips for teaching an Accessible Online Course.

Have a nice weekend, Michael
