Our workshops are designed for faculty who want to learn technology tools in the context of how they can be used in college classrooms, using examples of how they have been used by Hunter colleagues. We update them each semester as technology tools and instructors’ needs change. Workshops are listed below by date offered. You can also view them grouped on our Workshop Categories page.

Improve Accessibility for Course Readings on Brightspace In this workshop, we will explore best practices for making course readings on Brightspace accessible for students, with a focus on content in PDF format. Participants will learn how to select and share readings in formats that are readable and usable by students who rely on screen readers and other accessibility tools. We will discuss how to locate accessible digital versions of readings through the Hunter College Libraries, when and how scanning from print may be appropriate, and where to find campus support for remediation. Taking these steps will help ensure that all students can access and engage with your course readings equitably. Please bring a course reading in PDF format with a low Ally accessibility score on Brightspace and we can use it as an example in the workshop. |
