Many of the strategies benefit all students. These include: universal instructional design strategies; strategies for working with students who use assistive technology; strategies for working with students with hidden disabilities including psychiatric and learning disabilities; integrating accommodations into the classroom; and making the classroom and learning environment accessible. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=354463 Poster Session from "Weaving Patterns of Practice," 2008 POD Network/NCSPOD Conference.Is it worth keeping up with technology? Remember, good teaching is good teaching, and technology is merely a tool. But, what possibilities exist within tools like wikis, blogs, and podcasting to enhance student learning? For example, as communication methods and channels evolve, can these tools provide opportunities for students to explore how to express their learning in multiple genres? During this session we will share and engage in discussion about the ways we have used instructional technology to enhance face-to-face, hybrid and fully online courses. Finally, students' self-reports of the impact obit on their learning will be discussed. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=196788 This is a 24-minute Breeze Presentation with slides, synchronized audio, and captions. The presentation is designed to orient faculty to Universal Design for Learning. The presentation can be used as a stand-alone resource, or to augment a Faculty Development session on Universal Design for Learning. Also, relates to accessibility. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=78851 This web site was designed to provide an overview of usability and accessibility. It will provide guidelines, based on W3C standards, for creating both usable and accessible web sites. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=490153 Presentación Utilizada en curso de capacitación para Docente Virtual de la Universidad Tecnológica de Chile - INACAP, el documento pretende ser una guía del correcto uso de TIC en educación http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=227263 The web site “Learning Disabilities OnLine, the educators page”, is a wonderful tool to have when dealing with disabled students.

This module focuses on three types of PowerPoint presentations; student generated, instructional, and professional presentations. We focus on how techniques of Universal Design in Learning (UDL) can be incorporated into the presentation structure to improve accessibility and learning outcomes for individuals with differing learning styles. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=266442 An extensive table of 1986 CODATA numerical constants used in physics. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=83608 This is a relatively short powerpoint presentation that includes basic information on accessibility. It has links to three tutorials and could be used by by an individual interested in finding out more about accessibility.This could easily be presented groups as a basic brown-bag introduction to accessibility.
