Accessible Learning Services shares some best practices considerations:
-
In Fall 2020 and Spring 2021, University of Illinois conducted a survey across 49 undergraduate courses in engineering and computing to identify course components that engage students with and without disabilities
-
Surveyed students’ satisfaction with over ten course modalities including: live Zoom lectures, recordings of lectures, small group discussions, instructor notes, transcripts of lecture videos, discussion boards, etc.
-
Students with disabilities preferred: recorded lecture videos with transcripts, course textbook and instructor notes/slides that they could engage with offline.
-
Results demonstrated the need for all students to have access to multiple modalities including video and text-based content delivery. An approach that provides accessible content for everyone, supporting Universal Design for Learning (UDL) Principles.
