Design your assessments with accessibility in mind! Assessments are the source of a significant number of accommodation requests at McMaster; creating accessible assessments from the outset can help to reduce the number of accommodations student have to request. You can develop rigorous and robust assessments with fewer barriers for students by adhering to digital accessibility standards and following Universal Design for Learning guidelines.


By the end of the workshop, you will be able to:


    

  • Differentiate between accessibility and accommodation practices
    • 

  • Apply the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.0) to assessment design
    • 

  • Plan an assessment using Universal Design for Learning (UDL) guidelines
    •
