Then join us, along with Cidi Labs, as we tackle that myth head-on and flip the script on accessibility, showcasing how inclusive design can enhance course design, not limit it.
In this exciting webinar, the Cidi Labs and OLC teams will debunk common myths about accessible course design and explore how thoughtful accessibility strategies can actually lead to clearer, more effective, and more engaging learning experiences for everyone.
