This 3 part webinar series (video recordings are linked below) hosted by the Online Learning Consortium and Dr. Amanda Kraus (Assistant Vice President for Campus Life, Executive Director for Disability Resources, and ADA/504 Compliance Officer, University of Arizona) will examine how disability is framed in society and explore the power of design to promote equity. Throughout this series, we will discuss concepts that shape the disability experience as well as practical applications to the online environment that contribute to equitable learning experiences.
Drawing from disability studies, we will answer the following questions:
- How is disability framed in society and in education?
