Physics instructor has worked for a full year with Distance Education's Accessibility team, to make his NASA grant funded, online Astronomy courses (PHY 121, 122 and 123) accessible to students with disabilities. His biggest challenge was how to make his courses accessible to visually impaired students.

We have worked with the library to order books and tactile graphics; we have printed tactile graphics from NASA; we have looked into sonification, and added audio description to video.

Three faculty from diverse institutions, Doña Anna Community College, New Mexico State University, and the University of New Mexico, take you through their courses and experiences as their fully online courses were reviewed by Quality Matters. Examples of best practices and strategies used successfully will be highlighted as well as common areas that were missed.

In 1987, Chickering and Gamson published their seminal work "Seven Principles for Good Practice in Undergraduate Education." Session participants will be introduced to the "seven principles" and will explore how they align with QM's eight General Standards. Breakout groups will brainstorm to create good practices and will share and discuss ideas. Individual participants will rank ideas that will be most useful for promoting quality instruction. After the session, presenters will compile this information and make available a "Top Ten" list for conference attendees.
