Recap: Accessibility for Online Learning (June 2024)

a multicolored word cloud

I can’t believe we’re halfway through 2024 already! The end of June marks 6 months of the ATD Chapter Tour of Accessibility for Online Learning, one of my most requested presentations.

I’ve seen Central Massachusetts, Puget Sound, Mississippi Valley, Houston, Chicagoland, Nebraska, Memphis, Kansas City, Tulsa, and even my home, Las Vegas! How did the audiences compare?


Audience Priorities

Like any good instructional designer, my session has learning objectives! But I let the audience prioritize how much time to spend on each topic.


Disabilities & Assistive Technology

After some initial information on the kinds of disabilities and assistive technology out there, we ask the audience which of those they’ve seen in their workplace or learner population.


Interactive Elements of Online Learning

This prompt always starts some great discussions! After covering some accessibility best practices, we dive into trickier interactions like drag-and-drop, timing, documents, and more.


Every audience is a bit different, all with varied priorities, experiences, and challenges. This presentation is so much fun to deliver, and Mentimeter provides some great polls, prompts, and other interactions to spark conversation.

But the year’s not over yet! I’ll be sharing this session at several other ATD Chapters for the rest of the year – check out my upcoming events here!

Want me to bring this session – or another session – to your organization? Let me know!
