Accessibility in Online Instruction – Part 6 of 6

Learning Preferences – Challenges and Solutions

This week we look at Learning Preferences.

Learning Preferences are not a disability, but it is good to know how people learn so you can make good choices in your course design.

Today’s video is about 5 minutes long, and will wrap up this six week series.

Here is the index of today’s video:

  • Types of Learning Preferences (0:28)
  • UDL Example (1:36)
  • Using multiple ways of Representing Content (2:10)
  • Giving Students choices to reach the Learning Goal (2:34)
  • Student Engagement (3:54)

As we end this series, it is notable that a lot of people think these principles apply just to people with different kinds of disabilities or impairments. As I have said numerous times in the last six weeks, this really is just good course design. We want consistency in language, as well as keeping things succinct and clear. This will help all your students!!

I also hope you are seeing the importance of being proactive with regards to accessibility. Being proactive in making your courses accessible will help you in the long run, because at some point you will have a disabled student in one of your courses.

Thank you for reading the Faculty Learning Corner!!! Have a Great July 4th weekend!
