About

Academic Resources at Chattanooga State Community College, in the past few years, has adopted Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles into their course design process for developing successful and engaging online courses. In their research on accessibility and UDL, they have collaborated campuswide as well as with other colleges and universities across their state.

This paper summarizes the Course Design for Student Success in Higher Education session that  wasoffered at UDL-IRN 2018. It will provide Learning Management System (LMS) tools, software, and pedagogy currently used in their course design process that promotes UDL and how their process is tied to the UDL principles. They will also provide recent course examples. This will include recent examples of STEM, Nursing, General Education, and Tennessee Center of Advanced Technology courses. In addition, it will provide resources solutions to common problems that occur during course design/re-design, including common LMS tips and tricks.

Accessibility Solutions: Hands-on Fun

In 2014, the state of Tennessee mandated that digital content be made accessible for all students in order to remove barriers to learning. Inspired to build on that mandate, the team at Chattanooga State Community College set out to make post-secondary courses accessible.

About

In 2014, the state of Tennessee mandated that digital content be made accessible for all students in order to remove barriers to learning. Inspired to build on that mandate, the team at Chattanooga State Community College set out to make post-secondary courses accessible. In the process, the team discovered that removing learning barriers involved more than simply increasing accessibility. It evolved into an examination and embrace of Universal Design for Learning (UDL). In researching accessibility and UDL, Chattanooga State Community College collaborated with stakeholders across campus as well as with other colleges and universities across the state. The original focus centered on the creation or redesign of traditional and online classrooms. The discovery of tools, technologies, and options for content presentation allowed us to meet accessibility standards and implement the three principles of UDL to improve student experience and success (UDL Center, 2016). The team was guided by the concept of Systematic Learner Variability as we learned about options for presenting course material (CAST, CAST UDL Exchange, 2016). Finding non-traditional options for submitting work encourages ownership and engagement among today’s tech savvy students.
