Transparency In Teaching and Learning (TILT)

Long Description:

AiiCE, February 21, 2024

Presenter: Jade Metzger-Riftkin (Northern Arizona University)

Transparency in Learning and Teaching (TILT) refers to a teaching model that clarifies to students the instructor's choices for lesson plans and specifies how those choices relate to course goals. Research demonstrates that when students are exposed to transparent assignments, they gain academic confidence and a sense of belonging. TILT moves away from the “what” of teaching to the “how” and “why” of teaching.

Accessibility Cafes: Increasing Faculty Engagement with Accessibility and Universal Design for Learning

Long Description:

AccessComputing, Dec 07, 2023

Mary-Colleen Jenkins (��ԭ��)

Informal results of the 'Accessibility Cafe' pilot project indicate that this can be a promising tool for building faculty awareness and skills for enhancing accessibility of their course materials. In these guided, department-focused events, faculty gather with their colleagues to learn about and fix a low-level accessibility issue in their course materials. They leave with the know-how to continue making incremental progress and feel more confident in continuing to make fixes on their own. The Accessibility Cafe framework can be easily adapted for multiple focal topics in accessibility, UDL, and other inclusive teaching practices.
