Thank you for your interest in the Non-Discrimination Accessibility Across Campus webinar. In this webinar we are joined by Kara Zirkle, IT Accessibility Coordinator at George Mason University, and explore legal compliance requirements (WCAG, Section 508), cross-functional policy adoption, and how to integrate accessibility into your campus culture.

Discussion topics:

  • The pressures universities are facing with closed captioning and non-discrimination accessibility
  • How to incorporate accessibility into your curriculum through ‘Life Cycle Design’ processes (IT, Instructional Design, Faculty, Procurement, Web Developer and Content Manager areas)
  • Documenting overall accessibility plan, policy, procurement and testing
  • Creating buy-in, motivating faculty and staff and improving communication around non-discrimination accessibility
