Inclusive Courses in Canvas According to Universal Design for Learning: Practical Design Ideas

Universal Design for Learning (UDL)-based instruction promotes inclusive learning that meets the diverse needs of all students. Three UDL principles, nine guidelines, and 31 checkpoints guide the creation of an instructional environment, lessons, and curricula. However, given the myriad of pedagogical and technological options, where and how do we start implementing UDL in an online course? What are some practices or tips to get started in Canvas? In this session, Dr. Orellana will share and discuss with participants practical implementation ideas to design Canvas courses according to UDL.

Facilitator: Anymir Orellana, Ed.D., Professor, Abraham S. Fischler College of Education and School of Criminal Justice

Build Your Course Welcome Video with Adobe Premiere Rush

Before a class officially begins, students begin accessing your course in Canvas. What do they see? What is the first impression they have of who you are? A course welcome video allows students to become familiar with you and your course before class starts. During this online workshop, Gregory Wright, an experienced multimedia producer will show you around the video editing tool Adobe Premiere Rush and share some basic video editing principles. Be sure to bring your previously recorded video content to edit.

Facilitator: Gregory Wright, Multimedia Producer, NSU Learning and Educational Center, Office of Academic Affairs
