Description

Digital accessibility continues to be a focus at colleges, universities and school districts as more efforts, resources and attention are being paid to this necessary component of our digital educational ecosystem. Despite educational institutions being at different places in their digital accessibility journey, one area which continues to be a challenge is the accessibility of STEM based content. Professionals creating new content, staff remediating post-production materials, and anyone sharing materials with learners in a variety of platforms and educational environments needs an easy to use tool to support this work. Likewise, students need support accessing, engaging with, and creating STEM based content. This session will focus on Equatio, a digital STEM toolbar which can help professionals and students as they create, remediate and share accessible course content digitally. We will discuss how this tool can support the roles and responsibilities of faculty, teachers, staff and technology professionals when it comes to creating and remediating accessible STEM based course content, while also supporting the work of becoming a more digitally accessible educational institution. We’ll also discuss how students can use Equatio to consume, engage with and respond to their course materials. Attendees will leave understanding how this tool can provide more holistic support to our educational institutions, while moving the needle on creating digital and accessible course content.
