Our first session at THATCampCC 2017 was about Accessibility & Design Issues In Distance Learning Courses.

• Simplicity is important…keep things on one page…
• Need to have specific directions…click here first…
• Could create video tutorials
• Perhaps a Blackboard shell to discuss various CMS issues for faculty?
• Colleges need to have a list for students of what they need to ACCESS (skills wise) a distance learning course
• Which is also an ADA/504 accessibility issue…for example, making sure you have a script for videos
• Weekly versus modular scheduling
• Discussion of making sure distance students get the same “first five minutes” info
