We hope you all had a great weekend! We're working on getting our ALC2020 presentation recordings captioned and finalized, and we expect to send them out (along with presentation materials) to conference registrants this week. #MSUa11y
Due to some more complex captioning work than we expected, this rollout will be delayed a bit! We're working hard to get recorded versions of the sessions to registrants ASAP.🙂 #MSUa11y
The live presentations for ALC 2020 may be over, but engagement continues! Check out our engagement fair--open to all--at accessiblelearning.org, practice some accessible yoga, and keep sharing your insights and wisdom here with #MSUa11y. Thank you all for a great conference!

Yes!!! This was such an important topic brought up by the student panel. Higher Ed IT need to put more emphasis on accessibility evaluations and faculty need to only choose tools supported and approved by the university! #MSUa11y – at Howell, MI
#MSUa11y students w/ disabilities panel: higher ed IT administrators need a higher caliber of accessibility testing process. Don't procure tech products before knowing if they are accessible. A lot of times they aren't, and then it's too late. "This cannot be afterthought."

#MSUa11y panel of students w/ disabilities say a big barrier they experience is when instructors use 3rd party websites that aren't accessible/approved by the university. "I can't tell you how many times I've been in tears with a website I can't use."
Just a little human/animal kinship to get us thinking about the everyday realities of the online classroom for teachers and students.

#MSUa11y @DrSamiSchalk : Answering a question re: how to encourage students to reach out & express their needs. One rec is midterm check-in, which asks students what's working for them and what isn't. Their responses can be divergent: some students may be uncomfortable with -
