Summary<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In Module 4, <em>UDL, OEP, and Your Teaching,<\/em> we\u2019ll go beyond the technical accessibility you investigated in Module 3 to explore how Open UDL practices can help you create accessibility and inclusivity in a broader sense in your everyday teaching. We\u2019ll start with the <strong>course syllabus<\/strong>, considering ways that Open UDL can promote inclusion, belonging, and greater engagement from the beginning of a course with this tone-setting document. Then, we\u2019ll look at open practices that can be incorporated into weekly learning activities or as low-stakes assessments, such as social annotation or co-created annotated bibliographies.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this investigation, you\u2019ll start by reading the Rhetoric and Policy tabs on the Accessible Syllabus Project to consider how language and policies can open and close learning. Then you\u2019ll watch a video to consider a few Open Educational Practices that can increase accessibility on a unit-to-unit basis in your course. After that, you\u2019ll choose an OER\/Open Pedagogy assignment to explore, focusing on how open assignments can reduce barriers for students. Hopefully, these materials will give you fresh eyes with which to review the activities and low-stakes assessments in your course as you complete the Teaching and Learning section of the Open UDL Planning Tool. Finally, you\u2019ll bring your insights or questions to the module\u2019s discussion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vecteezy.com\/free-vector\/handicap\">Image adapted from Handicap Vectors by Vecteezy<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-transform:uppercase\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Course_Activities\"><\/span>Course Activities<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Review\"><\/span>Review<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Rhetoric and Policy sections of the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.accessiblesyllabus.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Accessible Syllabus Project<\/a>&nbsp;(opens in new tab).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Watch\"><\/span>Watch<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cunysps.hosted.panopto.com\/Panopto\/Pages\/Viewer.aspx?id=c4c79b7f-efbd-42ef-9685-b25300e8a597\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Open Pedagogy in Learning Activities<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Note:<\/em> The video in the link above is available for download even without a Panopto account.
