Collaborative Classroom
What faculty are saying about the new collaborative space:
- "I noticed that the interchange between students has improved a lot with the arrangement of the computers."
- "It was really one of the greatest classes I have had and it was mostly because of the support of the technology available in the lab".
- "The new lab saved us so much time during the presentations of the research activity and made the dialogue really interesting."

WORKSHOP: Accessible Learning: What does this mean for my online course?
Thursday, November 19, 2015 - 12:00 to 13:30, 6137 McKeldin
As authors of instructional content, University of Maryland educators (faculty, instructors, trainers) have the responsibility to ensure that students can access and interact with all content related to course delivery. Instructors who design new courses or redesign existing courses to be hosted on ELMS must adhere to all ADA regulations and WCAG 2.0 recommendations in terms of the delivery of video, audio, graphical content, and text. This workshop will explore some of the challenges faced by instructors and students when developing and interacting with online content and introduce an "Accessible Learning" checklist to help faculty pinpoint specific content problem areas and the strategies and tools that can be used to solve them.
