E-Learning Environments
• Exponential growth in technological advances
• In 2009, 44 percent of post-secondary students in the USA were taking some or all of their courses online, this figure is projected to rise to 81 percent by 2014. Ambient Insight Research
• 6.7 million students enrolled in at least one online course in fall 2011. Babson Research Study
![Page 15: Pushing the Boulder up the Hill. Gaining Traction for Accessibility Case by Case at a Small, Rural University Rapidly Expanding Online Offerings.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110304/551c0d7c5503469e4f8b5236/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Technology Innovation = Accessibility
• A student with quadriplegia working as a photographer for the school newspaper
• A volleyball player who is deaf following a transcription of her teammates’ and referees’ conversations in real time
• A teenager with autism seeing a small red dot when their classmate’s face looks bored or green if they are intrigued
• An instructor with blindness receiving a description of his classroom and students on the first day of class

Universal Design
• UD-Universal Design• UDE-Universal Design of Education• UDI-Universal Design of Instruction• UDL-Universal Design of Learning

![Page 18: Pushing the Boulder up the Hill. Gaining Traction for Accessibility Case by Case at a Small, Rural University Rapidly Expanding Online Offerings.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110304/551c0d7c5503469e4f8b5236/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Universal Design Is NOT
• UDL provides a blueprint for creating instructional goals, methods, materials, and assessments that work for everyone--not a single, one-size-fits-all solution but rather flexible approaches that can be customized and adjusted for individual needs.
• It does not remove academic challenges; it removes barriers to access.
• It does not regulate teaching style.
![Page 19: Pushing the Boulder up the Hill. Gaining Traction for Accessibility Case by Case at a Small, Rural University Rapidly Expanding Online Offerings.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110304/551c0d7c5503469e4f8b5236/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
UDL
• Multiple means of representation to give learners various ways of acquiring information and knowledge,
• Multiple means of expression to provide learners alternatives for demonstrating what they know, and
• Multiple means of engagement to tap into learners' interests, challenge them appropriately, and motivate them to learn
![Page 20: Pushing the Boulder up the Hill. Gaining Traction for Accessibility Case by Case at a Small, Rural University Rapidly Expanding Online Offerings.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110304/551c0d7c5503469e4f8b5236/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Action Steps 1• Examine and evaluate current efforts: individual academic
accommodations, adaptive equipment, case management and coordination, advocacy, and personal counseling and advising
• Identify successful access, performance, and retention in programs
• Identify specific barriers to the provision of disability-related services, including barriers created by policy and funding requirements
• Assess the e ectiveness of educational practices and ffdisability-related services that are important to career mobility and success in the workplace
![Page 21: Pushing the Boulder up the Hill. Gaining Traction for Accessibility Case by Case at a Small, Rural University Rapidly Expanding Online Offerings.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110304/551c0d7c5503469e4f8b5236/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Action Steps 2• Test the e ectiveness of specific models of delivery that are ff
believed to increase accessibility of educational supports and innovative technologies
• Identify types of educational and subsequent labor-market success
• Provide training, technical assistance, and information to educational support personnel, public and private rehabilitation personnel, career placement specialists, and students with disabilities, based on the findings and implications of the research
• Implement a consumer-driven plan of empowerment evaluation to assess the progress in achieving its goals.

• Develop a promotion plan• Collaborate and support faculty by
developing teaching resources with them• Understand and use effective reward
systems
