Description
Join CAST for a learning experience that empowers leaders to become a catalyst for change in closing the digital design divide. This insightful session will highlight the 2024 National Education Technology Plan’s (NETP) commitment to closing the Digital Use, Design, and Access Divides, creating inclusive, engaging, and accessible learning environments for all learners through Universal Design for Learning (UDL).
Presenters debunk common myths and present facts about UDL and assistive technology as aligned in the federal Assistive Technology Guidance released in January 2024. They also discuss the April 2024 final rule from the Department of Justice, which now requires state and local governmental entities—including early childhood, elementary, secondary, and postsecondary institutions—to ensure that web- or mobile app-based digital learning resources are appropriate for and usable by learners with disabilities.
Don’t miss this opportunity to equip yourself with the knowledge and tools needed to create accessible and inclusive educational experiences for all learners!
