Change up the status quo and explore options for all to succeed. Perhaps, start the course with a sense of community. Conduct Icebreakers like Zoom to allow students to learn technology in a kind environment before entering into higher stake assessments. Be sure to guide the course with allowing students to discuss their needs. Instructors need to be present to understand students and moderate. Be open to one-on-one Zoom meetings if needed. No student left behind if they choose to succeed. Consider to offer options like multiple quiz attempts.]]> 2021-05-07 16:59:12 UTC https://padlet.com/vnieders1/bq6uctbnodc2cwce/wish/1503218375 Where to start? anna_catterson https://padlet.com/vnieders1/bq6uctbnodc2cwce/wish/1524942930 Accessibility: the design of products, services to better ALL. ]]> 2021-05-14 15:07:06 UTC https://padlet.com/vnieders1/bq6uctbnodc2cwce/wish/1524942930 Pictures anna_catterson https://padlet.com/vnieders1/bq6uctbnodc2cwce/wish/1524966926 Need Alternate text, descriptions of images and videos.
