A responsive teaching model includes designing courses in a thoughtful and inclusive way. This creates an educational environment–no matter the delivery method–where all students have an opportunity to learn and demonstrate their mastery of course content. Planning is key to accessible courses, but equally important is the ability to be flexible. Unexpected modifications may be needed, especially in this time of significant impacts to student learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Please also refer to our excellent colleague resources at Macdigital<\/a> and Responsive Teaching and Learning<\/a> sites<\/p>\n\n\n\n Planning for accessible courses is similar to planning for hybrid models and aligns well with Universal Design for Learning (UDL) approaches:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Before providing the syllabus to your course, make a statement! Tell students you are invested in inclusion, name ways you have made the course designed for access and invite them to discuss with you their needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPreparing for Courses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
