  • Accessible Videos: Accurate Captions

    Monday, April 8, 2024 at 3:30pm
    Location: Zoom

    Presented by: Jason Schoen, Instructional Designer from The Office of Blended and Online Learning

    Videos are a valuable resource in your course, whether they are your own recorded lectures or resources found online. But they need to be accurately captioned to be accessible.
    We will review the captioning tools in VoiceThread, Panopto and Zoom for your own synchronous meetings and recorded lectures, as well as how to handle captioning for content created by others.

  • Designing Inclusive Syllabi Part II: The How?

    Friday, April 12, 2024 at 1:00pm
    Location: Zoom

    Presented by: Kate Myers-Coffman (she/they), PhD, MT-BC, Assistant Professor of Music Therapy

    This online workshop is a follow up to those who attended the Designing Inclusive Syllabi Part I: The Why workshop. Building on the attendees' foundational knowledge, this workshop provides a range of strategies that challenge traditional norms in academia for a more liberatory, inclusive, and accessible education. Trauma-informed, culturally humble, learner-centered, growth-oriented, community building, and relational frameworks will be weaved into all strategies presented. Example strategies will touch on: a) attendance, participation, and assignment policies; b) assignment and curriculum design; c) grading and ungrading approaches; d) tone and discourse in syllabi; and e) navigating the delicate balance between flexibility and boundary-setting.

  • Inclusive Syllabus Design Part III: Workshopping

    Monday, May 13, 2024 at 1:00pm
    Location: Zoom or H339

    Presented by: Kate Myers-Coffman (she/they), PhD, MT-BC, Assistant Professor of Music Therapy

    In this workshop, faculty who have attended Parts I and II of the Designing Inclusive Syllabi workshop series will be able to bring their revised or under-revision syllabi and collaboratively review and give feedback to one another. Participants will work in small groups exchanging syllabi as well as dialogue in a larger group to identify what’s going well with revisions and what might be serving as a barrier or a challenge. Time will also be provided for participants to work on their syllabi in real time after having small group and large group discussions with one final collective check-in before the workshop’s end. This session aims to be iterative, dialogic, and collaborative, where tangible changes to syllabi can be implemented and concrete directions for next steps identified.
