Cross Departmental Accessibility Focus: College-Wide Student Success and Online Courses

Abstract

Since 2018, FSW began promoting a culture of access through active collaboration between the Library, Academic Schools, Academic Advising, ADAptive Services, Student Engagement, The Learning Center, General Counsel, eLearning, Facilities, & other areas. This cultural change has led to efficiencies in employee & student referrals for assistance through the Early Alert system, provision of accommodations, & the push for Universal Design for Learning & for the College’s online presence with courses & public-facing website content. Notably, the deep partnerships between the Office of ADAptive Services & the Office of Information Technology helped to bolster College-Wide accessibility efforts to provide faculty & staff training opportunities for accessible design, along with the inclusion of the DEV 101 Online Certification Process for course development to include instructional designers, accessibility specialists, & librarians in the process to design accessible master online courses.
