While building our classes online, let’s keep in mind how to allow for academic accommodations and the provision of accessible content for students with disabilities. Thankfully, we live in an age where these accommodations are largely available to us. Here are some ideas for how you can incorporate these accommodations into your online course:

If you are using online proctoring for exams, please make sure to communicate this to your students prior to the scheduled exam date. Students with DRC registered disabilities should take their tests and quizzes in the same format and setting as the rest of the class. It will be the Instructor’s responsibility to provide testing accommodations through the online proctoring platforms. If a student’s accommodations require extra time on exams, the online exam must be extended per their accommodation. If this student needs breaks during exams, add in their total break time to their exam.
