For some, accessibility and the Title II requirements are a requirement that feels like an insurmountable feat. For others, accessibility is the window into stronger instructional design and along the way - connections to colleagues that inspire, connect and unite us. Open Education's tenants of inclusion, iteration and innovation have long driven advances in the Educational Technology world, but it's the opportunity to genuinely work together in small groups, finding new partners along that way that centers Open Ed colleagues as leaders in the accessibility movement. This panel will allow you to hear from and ask questions of people who are creating spaces for moving beyond compliance of Title II and into the space of creating genuinely accessible OER. This panel will spark your connections to other like-minded leaders who see Accessibility as a "how might we..." opportunity and lead to finding your own Accessibili-buddies.
Attendees of this session will be able to:- Participants will receive an update on Accessibility Practices as related to OER.
- Participants will analyze example collaboration resources for building Accessibility Communities of Practice.
- Participants will reflect on their own questions about creating Accessible OER to consider next steps they might take.
- Participants will join a broader community of colleagues who are committed to Accessible OER.
