Building a Culture of Accessibility and Inclusion by Utilizing UDL in Online Course Design

An ongoing effort of The Center for Teaching & Learning is to improve the quality of teaching at Governors State University. The primary goal of this initiative is to improve awareness of accessibility to reduce barriers that students may face in courses. The BCA Initiative seeks to resolve challenges with accessibility in online and hybrid courses at GSU. Further, with a focus on Universal Design and QM Standard 8, the initiative will benefit all students, not just those with disabilities.
