Web 2.0 Tools and Accessibility
Presented by Wendy Torres, Senior Instructional and Digital Accessibility Specialist at Coppin State University
Web 2. 0 technologies have allowed faculty to reach students in a whole new way. When used effectively, these tools can help focus the attention of students and help faculty reach different kinds of learners on different levels. Not all Web 2. 0 tools are accessible to people with disabilities. This session will discuss and illustrate what to look for when you are evaluating Web 2.0 Tools. Participants will get concrete examples of what to look for, as well as a scoring template they can use for evaluation.
