Dear Colleagues, CETLL would like to share this information from the CUNY Office of Faculty Affairs, about disability and accessibility training initiatives for faculty for the 2024-2025 academic year. 2024-2025 Applied Universal Design for Learning (UDL) Online Training The CUNY Innovative Teaching Academy is offering an asynchronous training course that will demonstrate UDL guidelines through examples of course design, content, teaching practices, and Brightspace features. The training will show how to apply the newly updated UDL Version 3.0<https://udlguidelines.cast.org/> guidelines. The course is divided into nine modules, which will be released over the 2024-2025 academic year. Each module is expected to take around 30-60 minutes to complete. Learn more about the Applied UDL course and register.<https://www.cuny.edu/academics/faculty-affairs/cuny-innovative-teaching-aca…> CFP - Facilitate a Universal Design for Learning Collaborative at your campus The Office of Student Inclusion Initiatives wants to develop a Universal Design for Learning (UDL) Collaborative at all CUNY campuses. Faculty have signaled an interest in learning more about accessibility and following the UDL guidelines for active and engaged learning. We want to create opportunities for faculty and staff to connect and support each other in these efforts. We are seeking one facilitator per campus to coordinate meetings with interested CUNY community members in conjunction with the asynchronous online course in UDL (see above for details). UDL Collaborative facilitators will coordinate and advertise one meeting per month (October 2024 - May 2025) and can choose the modality (online or in-person) that works best for interested community members. Suggested sign-up forms and communications will be provided, which facilitators can tailor with details for their campus. Registration and attendance reports must be submitted after each meeting. Faculty or staff in any department may apply to be a facilitator and will receive a stipend of $1,500 for the year. Deadline: Friday, September 13, 2024 Notification Date: Monday, September 23, 2024 Learn more and apply to be a UDL Collaborative Facilitator.<https://www.cuny.edu/academics/faculty-affairs/cuny-innovative-teaching-aca…> Disability Rights in Education and Accessibility 101 Coming Soon! The CUNY Office of Student Inclusion Initiatives will offer a 1-hour asynchronous training module for all CUNY faculty. It will cover three topics: 1) disability rights in higher education, 2) New York State IT Policy and your class, and 3) best practices for teaching students with disabilities.
