Plan

To implement EOD, the following was assessed: 

• General Accessibility 

• Images, Videos, and Voice Recordings

• Representation

• Participation

• Policies

• UDL-Aligned Teaching Strategies

Assessment findings:

• General Accessibility: An Ally Course Accessibility Report with an accessibility score of 70%. The area of greatest concern was identified as images. 

• Images, Videos, and Voice Recordings: Video and audio materials were not captioned. 

• Representation: There is a need for improvement in diverse representation of course materials. 

• Participation: There is a need to modify questioning techniques

• Policy: There is a need to change the deadline policy

• UDL-Aligned Teaching Strategies: There is a need for teaching strategies using Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles. 

Opportunities to improve equity-oriented design in the course:

• Adding alternative text (alt text) to all images used in the Learning Management System and classroom presentations

• Adding closed captions to all video and audio materials

• Including diverse representation in course materials

• Modifying questioning techniques

• Implementing a flexible deadline policy

• Embedding teaching strategies based on UDL principles
