Winter eLC Meeting - February 17
Where Accessibility Meets Innovation.
The Accessibility Workgroup of the Washington State eLearning Council is dedicated to advancing equitable access to digital learning environments across Washington’s community and technical colleges. Grounded in the Council’s commitment to inclusive and anti-racist educational practices, our workgroup collaborates to identify, promote, and implement accessibility standards, tools, and strategies that remove barriers for all learners. We support faculty, staff, and administrators through professional development, resource sharing, and policy guidance to ensure that eLearning technologies and content are usable by individuals of all abilities. Our goal is to foster a culture of accessibility that empowers every student to succeed in digital learning spaces.
Create and facilitate opportunities for digital accessibility training and resource sharing for SBCTC faculty and campuses.
Engage with DEI workgroup to edit current DEI rubric to become DEIA rubric.
Facilitate All-College Zoom Office Hours with Accessibility Folks to answer questions.
Collaborate with SBCTC to create communities of practice for faculty within specific disciplines, particularly those that might have more complex needs such as music, STEM, and nursing.
Planning training for WACC/ATL - Guava to provide webinar zoom/ fully online
