On April 20, 2026, the UDL Collaborative convened to explore how accessibility and Universal Design for Learning can become sustainable, ongoing practices rather than one-time initiatives. Facilitators and participants discussed strategies for integrating UDL principles into daily (teaching) work, connecting the conversation to the school’s Accessibility Project and Accessibility Challenge. The session centered on practical, peer-to-peer learning; colleagues shared successes and next steps, offering concrete examples of how to embed accessibility into evolving course design and teaching practices over time.
The following resources and links were shared during the session:
- No Mouse Challenge
- Bite, snack, meal
- Guide to alternative formats by the Ally tool in Brightspace
- Teaching Guide for using Ally in Brightspace
- Accessibility checker in MS Word
- Video post on “Chunking,” Monday Minute by Carolyn Stallard
- Astigmatism and Web Accessibility: Design Guide
