Session Description:
​
In an effort to bring awareness to and support the development of skills in our community, the UMA Learning Experience Design Team partnered with the UMA Libraries to develop a self-paced course where faculty, staff, and students learn how to make universally designed and accessible content. In this session, presenters will share an outline of their process of developing, assessing, and marketing the course, how the course supports the UMA community currently, and ideas for further application and development.

As a learning experience designer, Jessica collaborates with faculty and staff to create engaging activities and compelling content for students. In this role, she also partners with various support teams to identify aspects of each learner's experience that can be enhanced for a more robust, supportive, and successful journey. Jessica began teaching in the classroom in 2000 and moved to online teaching in 2005. Her MA in English and M.Ed. in instructional technology and school leadership create a solid framework to support her experience.
