[d2l-a11y] FW: Accessible, Universally Designed Classrooms?
Hi all,
I sent the message below out on a couple of other listservs and someone recommended the D2L community as another possible resource for information and ideas.
Do you have links to articles or your own stories about classrooms where the top design criteria were accessibility and collaboration?
Background for the question: A unit at the University of Arizona is applying for an internal grant to create the ultimate universally designed classroom. We are thinking about height adjustable furniture for students and faculty, assisted listening gear, in-room wireless sharing of presentation materials so that low-vision students can get up close to the material without being up close to the projector, wider spacing for tables along with wheels on furniture to support any learning configuration.
All feedback and suggestions are welcomed - Thank you!
Dawn

What a wonderful project to work on. I absolutely will be able to share some links to great resources that I found but have a few things I am working on today. I'll try to get them to you by the end of the week for sure.
