OLC - Reframing Disability: Language, Media, and Universal Design - 10-16 November 2025 Online
Kindly note: Registrants will receive an email communicating the relevant information.
Workshop Description:
As we increasingly use online and remote options for teaching, learning and engagement, it is more important now than ever to create spaces that are not only accessible, but inclusive to disabled and diverse constituents. Scheduling interpreters, captioning your videos, and utilizing compliant software are important ways to ensure access - but beyond accessibility, we must challenge ourselves to think more deeply about disability to create the most equitable experience for all users. This workshop will engage participants in reflection on how disability is framed in society and in education, how we have been socialized to understand disability, and how we can consciously make different choices in our design and planning to create equitable and inclusive online spaces.
Learning Objectives:
-
Summarize foundational models used to frame disability historically and today
-
Identify disability stereotypes and ableist microaggressions
-
Evaluate potential barriers to inclusion in your own work
