Digital Learning Dialogues: How to make your curriculum accessible
Natalie, Boclips Account Manager and education accessibility advocate, discusses what instructional designers can do to stay on top of accessibility requirements and democratize digital learning.
In part II, she will discuss how to build accessible digital learning environments and share her perspective on how digital learning will evolve in the next few years.
Natalie says:
Accessibility is deeply personal to me. I’m legally blind. I use accessibility aids every day, including screen readers for computer work and audio descriptions for visual media.
To start off, Natalie, could you share your perspective on why accessibility considerations are important in digital learning?
Accessibility is so important in digital learning. I’ll share a little accessibility history in the States for context.
In the past, U.S society lacked awareness of different learners’ needs in the classroom. Educators worked with individual students using individual education plans (IEPs) until a couple of decades ago, when the ADA passed and helped people with disabilities advocate for their rights in the classroom and workplace.
Fast-forward to today: Educators are coming to understand that education is not “one size fits all.” They’re learning to consider the needs of all learners.
Have efforts to improve accessibility in digital media evolved in recent years? If yes, how?
Digital media have evolved a lot, over the last couple of years especially. Others in the disability community and I have seen a lot more people focused on the needs of learners of different abilities since Covid.
Narrowing in on education, what barriers to accessibility commonly arise in digital course curriculum development? What do you recommend educators do to overcome them?
It’s important when designing curriculum to have resources for visual learners, but to also balance them out with podcasts, for example, for auditory learners, and with text. If you make information available in multiple ways, students can choose which way works best for them.
Is it fair to say that they shouldn’t ask how to accommodate learners with different accessibility needs, but how to design for people of all abilities?
Yes, a big theme in accessibility conversations is “universal design” and how it differs from “accessible design.”
Thinking of how to optimize your platform or courseware that way — in the most simplistic way possible — for all learners, is important.
