WEBVTT 00:00:01.640 --> 00:00:04.070 align:center MAYA SMITH: Welcome, everyone. 00:00:04.070 --> 00:00:05.900 align:center We're so glad you're here to join us 00:00:05.900 --> 00:00:10.700 align:center for our last of the spring series on digital accessibility. 00:00:10.700 --> 00:00:13.050 align:center Today, we are talking about "Making a Plan-- 00:00:13.050 --> 00:00:16.700 align:center Developing a Strategy for Course Accessibility." 00:00:16.700 --> 00:00:20.690 align:center And after this presentation, I will 00:00:20.690 --> 00:00:22.940 align:center be sending a follow-up email at some point 00:00:22.940 --> 00:00:28.130 align:center once the recording is available, along with a survey for feedback 00:00:28.130 --> 00:00:33.920 align:center and for suggestions for future presentations, workshops, 00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:35.430 align:center and whatnot for next year. 00:00:35.430 --> 00:00:38.900 align:center So please give me your feedback. 00:00:38.900 --> 00:00:40.513 align:center But that's all I have to say. 00:00:40.513 --> 00:00:41.930 align:center And now I'm going to introduce you 00:00:41.930 --> 00:00:43.970 align:center to Mary-Colleen Jenkins, who will be 00:00:43.970 --> 00:00:46.110 align:center running our workshop for today. 00:00:46.110 --> 00:00:47.577 align:center So thank you, Mary-Colleen. 00:00:47.577 --> 00:00:49.160 align:center MARY-COLLEEN JENKINS: Thank you, Maya. 00:00:49.160 --> 00:00:50.737 align:center And hi, everybody. 00:00:50.737 --> 00:00:52.320 align:center Thank you so much for taking the time. 00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:54.230 align:center I know it's a weird time of the quarter 00:00:54.230 --> 00:00:57.770 align:center to be sitting in a workshop, so I appreciate your engagement. 00:00:57.770 --> 00:01:00.030 align:center And I just want went to introduce 00:01:00.030 --> 00:01:04.050 align:center Andrea Mano, my colleague, who is our tech support 00:01:04.050 --> 00:01:06.760 align:center backbone for this presentation. 00:01:06.760 --> 00:01:10.980 align:center If you have any technical difficulties with Zoom 00:01:10.980 --> 00:01:14.130 align:center or anything, you can send a chat email to Andrea, 00:01:14.130 --> 00:01:17.880 align:center and she can help you troubleshoot that. 00:01:17.880 --> 00:01:22.330 align:center I'll try to monitor the chat, but if I miss something, 00:01:22.330 --> 00:01:26.640 align:center Andrea is always good at letting me know what is going on. 00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:29.220 align:center Andrea, do you want to just give notes 00:01:29.220 --> 00:01:31.530 align:center about the housekeeping that you're adding to the chat 00:01:31.530 --> 00:01:33.720 align:center right now? 00:01:33.720 --> 00:01:35.220 align:center ANDREA MANO: Oh, sure. 00:01:35.220 --> 00:01:35.950 align:center Welcome. 00:01:35.950 --> 00:01:38.100 align:center We are recording this meeting, and you 00:01:38.100 --> 00:01:42.340 align:center can turn your live transcripts on using the CC button in Zoom. 00:01:42.340 --> 00:01:44.770 align:center We'll have time today to work on your own projects. 00:01:44.770 --> 00:01:46.740 align:center Mary-Colleen will let us know when 00:01:46.740 --> 00:01:49.230 align:center we're going to do some breakout rooms, where 00:01:49.230 --> 00:01:52.870 align:center you can choose the different rooms if you want to work on. 00:01:52.870 --> 00:01:56.430 align:center And then I'll also drop the link to today's slideshow 00:01:56.430 --> 00:01:57.363 align:center in the chat. 00:01:57.363 --> 00:01:59.030 align:center MARY-COLLEEN JENKINS: Thank you, Andrea. 00:01:59.030 --> 00:02:02.960 align:center And also, I'm going to ask you, Andrea, to drop a link. 00:02:02.960 --> 00:02:05.020 align:center We will be using a worksheet that I 00:02:05.020 --> 00:02:07.630 align:center created in Microsoft Word. 00:02:07.630 --> 00:02:11.330 align:center Andrea is going to put that in the link for us as well. 00:02:11.330 --> 00:02:13.690 align:center Or I can do it too. 00:02:13.690 --> 00:02:17.230 align:center And so for the three work periods, 00:02:17.230 --> 00:02:21.430 align:center I'm going to ask you to be looking at this handout. 00:02:21.430 --> 00:02:25.060 align:center So what you want to do is open the handout in Word 00:02:25.060 --> 00:02:27.460 align:center and then make a copy for yourself because it's 00:02:27.460 --> 00:02:29.180 align:center a shared document right now. 00:02:29.180 --> 00:02:32.650 align:center But you're going to be doing a little personal reflection 00:02:32.650 --> 00:02:34.880 align:center on how you work, the tools you use, 00:02:34.880 --> 00:02:37.010 align:center and take some notes for yourself. 00:02:37.010 --> 00:02:39.610 align:center So it would be better for you to have your own copy. 00:02:39.610 --> 00:02:44.060 align:center So you keep it for yourself as you move forward. 00:02:44.060 --> 00:02:47.030 align:center And we'll talk about that in just a few minutes. 00:02:47.030 --> 00:02:50.000 align:center So let's go ahead and get started. 00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:52.180 align:center So we're talking about making a plan 00:02:52.180 --> 00:02:56.220 align:center towards developing a strategy for course accessibility. 00:02:56.220 --> 00:02:58.950 align:center And if you've seen presentations with me before, 00:02:58.950 --> 00:03:01.777 align:center you'll recognize a couple slides that I always start with. 00:03:01.777 --> 00:03:03.360 align:center And so I'll just go ahead and do that. 00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:05.480 align:center I'm going to skip the temperature check. 00:03:05.480 --> 00:03:08.000 align:center We might get back to that in a minute. 00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:10.700 align:center But I want to talk a little bit about today's objectives 00:03:10.700 --> 00:03:12.630 align:center for the time you're spending with me. 00:03:12.630 --> 00:03:15.680 align:center And as Andrea mentioned, you'll have three periods of time 00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:19.100 align:center where you'll be able to do some work on your own. 00:03:19.100 --> 00:03:21.510 align:center And those will be announced as we go forward. 00:03:21.510 --> 00:03:23.240 align:center But first, we'll start with a shared 00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:25.160 align:center understanding of digital accessibility 00:03:25.160 --> 00:03:27.320 align:center and why it's important. 00:03:27.320 --> 00:03:29.850 align:center And then we're going to get into the "where should I start," 00:03:29.850 --> 00:03:33.920 align:center which is the big question we all have when it comes to-- 00:03:33.920 --> 00:03:35.540 align:center "OK, I've heard I'm supposed to make 00:03:35.540 --> 00:03:39.800 align:center my content accessible by a certain deadline. 00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:42.470 align:center What in the world am I supposed... like, 00:03:42.470 --> 00:03:43.710 align:center what do I do with that? 00:03:43.710 --> 00:03:46.200 align:center How do I get there after.. 00:03:46.200 --> 00:03:49.080 align:center awareness is one thing, but how do I do the thing?" 00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:50.810 align:center And so we're going to talk about how 00:03:50.810 --> 00:03:56.932 align:center to get started preparing for creating a plan or strategy. 00:03:56.932 --> 00:03:59.140 align:center And we're going to talk about three different things. 00:03:59.140 --> 00:04:00.790 align:center And this is related to the handout. 00:04:00.790 --> 00:04:02.410 align:center One is an informal audit. 00:04:02.410 --> 00:04:05.490 align:center One is thinking about the first next thing. 00:04:05.490 --> 00:04:08.650 align:center And one is thinking about a leaner, cleaner-- 00:04:08.650 --> 00:04:12.060 align:center cleaner, leaner Canvas site or alternative 00:04:12.060 --> 00:04:13.860 align:center if you're not using Canvas. 00:04:13.860 --> 00:04:16.321 align:center And all of these we'll talk about in turn. 00:04:16.321 --> 00:04:18.279 align:center They're all going to be related to the handout. 00:04:18.279 --> 00:04:21.180 align:center And all I ask, if you are looking at the handout, 00:04:21.180 --> 00:04:25.290 align:center is to not work too far ahead so we can collectively 00:04:25.290 --> 00:04:29.040 align:center be at the same place at the same time as we go forward. 00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:32.550 align:center Then we'll talk about how to start determining priorities 00:04:32.550 --> 00:04:34.360 align:center for a strategy. 00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:36.720 align:center And then we'll go into my philosophy, which some of you 00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:39.360 align:center may have heard already if you've seen me before, which 00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:41.910 align:center is progress over perfection. 00:04:41.910 --> 00:04:47.040 align:center So let's just start with the "what is digital accessibility?" 00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:52.210 align:center I think sometimes those of us who are in the helper mode-- 00:04:52.210 --> 00:04:54.488 align:center I'm in the accessible technology team, 00:04:54.488 --> 00:04:56.780 align:center and there are a lot of people working on accessibility. 00:04:56.780 --> 00:04:59.870 align:center And I felt like sometimes was when we're talking to faculty, 00:04:59.870 --> 00:05:03.350 align:center we assume everybody knows what we're talking about. 00:05:03.350 --> 00:05:05.290 align:center And so I want to give you a quick definition 00:05:05.290 --> 00:05:07.420 align:center of digital accessibility. 00:05:07.420 --> 00:05:10.780 align:center What it is, is basically, it means 00:05:10.780 --> 00:05:16.150 align:center that we apply technical skills and tools to make 00:05:16.150 --> 00:05:20.500 align:center the content we're sharing fully accessible, equally 00:05:20.500 --> 00:05:24.790 align:center available, and equally usable for all users, particularly 00:05:24.790 --> 00:05:27.740 align:center people with disabilities who use assistive technology, 00:05:27.740 --> 00:05:29.030 align:center but also for everyone. 00:05:29.030 --> 00:05:32.060 align:center There's a lot of benefits to everyone, 00:05:32.060 --> 00:05:34.040 align:center whether you have disabilities or not, 00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:37.730 align:center to be receiving accessible content. 00:05:37.730 --> 00:05:40.870 align:center And the difficulty is, if you're learning 00:05:40.870 --> 00:05:42.950 align:center about digital accessibility for the first time, 00:05:42.950 --> 00:05:47.380 align:center you may not know how to apply technical skills 00:05:47.380 --> 00:05:48.560 align:center and tools to do this. 00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:50.720 align:center You may not know what those skills and tools 00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:53.460 align:center are because it's a new subject for you. 00:05:53.460 --> 00:05:55.460 align:center And so we're going to talk about-- 00:05:55.460 --> 00:05:57.023 align:center I've been sharing a lot of things. 00:05:57.023 --> 00:05:58.440 align:center There's a lot of training on this. 00:05:58.440 --> 00:06:00.710 align:center We're going to be talking kind of high level 00:06:00.710 --> 00:06:03.980 align:center about different accessibility elements today. 00:06:03.980 --> 00:06:08.480 align:center But I want you to think of this journey towards accessibility 00:06:08.480 --> 00:06:10.530 align:center in two buckets. 00:06:10.530 --> 00:06:11.850 align:center And I have these on my slide. 00:06:11.850 --> 00:06:15.650 align:center One is the things we can do within our capacity. 00:06:15.650 --> 00:06:17.510 align:center There are tools and best practices 00:06:17.510 --> 00:06:23.300 align:center we can learn to help us achieve the baseline of accessibility 00:06:23.300 --> 00:06:25.270 align:center for our classes, for our students. 00:06:25.270 --> 00:06:27.270 align:center And that's what we're going to talk about today. 00:06:27.270 --> 00:06:28.937 align:center And that's what a lot of training that's 00:06:28.937 --> 00:06:31.340 align:center going on at the university is about, 00:06:31.340 --> 00:06:35.700 align:center figuring out where you are and meeting you where you are 00:06:35.700 --> 00:06:40.320 align:center and then helping you learn the basics within your capacity, 00:06:40.320 --> 00:06:44.390 align:center within the tools you use to move forward on making 00:06:44.390 --> 00:06:45.900 align:center your content accessible. 00:06:45.900 --> 00:06:47.990 align:center Then there's the other bucket, which 00:06:47.990 --> 00:06:51.990 align:center is stuff that's beyond our capacity maybe, 00:06:51.990 --> 00:06:55.320 align:center beyond our skill set or beyond our technology 00:06:55.320 --> 00:06:57.370 align:center to make accessible. 00:06:57.370 --> 00:07:01.650 align:center So there are things like really complex data sets or really 00:07:01.650 --> 00:07:06.900 align:center complex images that as beginners or people 00:07:06.900 --> 00:07:09.550 align:center with baseline accessibility skills, 00:07:09.550 --> 00:07:13.180 align:center maybe you won't be able to do that by yourself, 00:07:13.180 --> 00:07:16.740 align:center or you won't have the time or the bandwidth 00:07:16.740 --> 00:07:18.640 align:center to learn really complex stuff. 00:07:18.640 --> 00:07:21.330 align:center That's what I want you to know, that there are resources 00:07:21.330 --> 00:07:23.700 align:center at University of Washington to help us 00:07:23.700 --> 00:07:26.680 align:center and to help you with those complex issues, 00:07:26.680 --> 00:07:30.880 align:center and there's a lot of work being done to look for more resources, 00:07:30.880 --> 00:07:36.060 align:center create new resources, and get more tools available that can 00:07:36.060 --> 00:07:38.080 align:center help us with these hard things. 00:07:38.080 --> 00:07:43.110 align:center So we want to stick in our conversation today to the first 00:07:43.110 --> 00:07:45.550 align:center category, the "within our capacity." 00:07:45.550 --> 00:07:47.590 align:center That's where we're working and looking 00:07:47.590 --> 00:07:51.320 align:center to see how we personally can create a plan to move forward. 00:07:51.320 --> 00:07:54.950 align:center So that's where I want you to sit while we're talking. 00:07:54.950 --> 00:07:58.360 align:center And just a quick overview of why digital accessibility 00:07:58.360 --> 00:07:59.920 align:center is important. 00:07:59.920 --> 00:08:03.230 align:center I like to break it down into three audiences, really-- 00:08:03.230 --> 00:08:07.270 align:center our students and colleagues, the broader UW community, 00:08:07.270 --> 00:08:09.560 align:center and then the legal side of things. 00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:11.680 align:center So it's digital accessibility is important 00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:13.600 align:center for our students and colleagues, ensuring 00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:16.450 align:center that everybody has full access, especially students 00:08:16.450 --> 00:08:19.600 align:center and colleagues with disabilities who use assistive technology. 00:08:19.600 --> 00:08:22.420 align:center And then we want to make stronger and more inclusive 00:08:22.420 --> 00:08:26.090 align:center courses across the board that all students can engage in 00:08:26.090 --> 00:08:28.280 align:center and that all students benefit from, 00:08:28.280 --> 00:08:30.500 align:center regardless of their life circumstances. 00:08:30.500 --> 00:08:34.010 align:center And then there's the mission we have as a university. 00:08:34.010 --> 00:08:36.850 align:center And two particular bullets from that mission 00:08:36.850 --> 00:08:40.210 align:center that I find extra important-- the preservation, advancement, 00:08:40.210 --> 00:08:42.909 align:center and dissemination of knowledge, and serving 00:08:42.909 --> 00:08:45.480 align:center the public good through education and discovery. 00:08:45.480 --> 00:08:49.950 align:center Everything we produce ends up in the digital world, 00:08:49.950 --> 00:08:52.310 align:center and there's a lot of public-facing research 00:08:52.310 --> 00:08:56.390 align:center and content that we share across the world because 00:08:56.390 --> 00:08:59.280 align:center of our position as the University of Washington. 00:08:59.280 --> 00:09:02.870 align:center And so the more we can get used to creating digital content 00:09:02.870 --> 00:09:05.670 align:center for our students and our colleagues on campus, 00:09:05.670 --> 00:09:09.050 align:center the more we're doing that, we're just building those skills 00:09:09.050 --> 00:09:11.730 align:center to do that for all the public-facing stuff as well. 00:09:11.730 --> 00:09:14.450 align:center And then there's the thing you've heard about probably, 00:09:14.450 --> 00:09:18.042 align:center the updated Americans with Disabilities Act, Title II rule. 00:09:18.042 --> 00:09:20.000 align:center That's where some of the pressure we're feeling 00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:23.520 align:center is coming from because there is a deadline for compliance, 00:09:23.520 --> 00:09:26.040 align:center which is next spring. 00:09:26.040 --> 00:09:30.140 align:center And so that rule, even though I put that third 00:09:30.140 --> 00:09:33.110 align:center on my list of priorities here, that's 00:09:33.110 --> 00:09:36.680 align:center probably the part of this whole project of accessibility 00:09:36.680 --> 00:09:39.270 align:center that puts a lot more stress and pressure on us 00:09:39.270 --> 00:09:43.140 align:center because we're feeling the time pressure there. 00:09:43.140 --> 00:09:46.830 align:center And what I'm going to talk about today is kind of slowing down 00:09:46.830 --> 00:09:50.460 align:center a bit and getting a sense of the environment 00:09:50.460 --> 00:09:55.020 align:center we're in ourselves before moving forward and trying 00:09:55.020 --> 00:09:57.340 align:center to meet that goal. 00:09:57.340 --> 00:09:58.740 align:center So I'm going to pause here really 00:09:58.740 --> 00:10:01.620 align:center quickly just to see if there are any quick questions 00:10:01.620 --> 00:10:07.080 align:center or comments on what I just covered really quickly just 00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:09.446 align:center then, the baseline. 00:10:14.040 --> 00:10:15.900 align:center All right. 00:10:15.900 --> 00:10:19.210 align:center So here's the big question that's on my screen. 00:10:19.210 --> 00:10:21.010 align:center Where should I start? 00:10:21.010 --> 00:10:22.690 align:center I talk to faculty all the time. 00:10:22.690 --> 00:10:25.620 align:center That's part of my job, is to engage faculty 00:10:25.620 --> 00:10:28.350 align:center with awareness around accessibility 00:10:28.350 --> 00:10:31.170 align:center and help faculty build some basic skills 00:10:31.170 --> 00:10:33.430 align:center and connect faculty with resources. 00:10:33.430 --> 00:10:35.800 align:center So I talk to people all the time, 00:10:35.800 --> 00:10:38.190 align:center and this is what I'm hearing. 00:10:38.190 --> 00:10:38.812 align:center "That's fine. 00:10:38.812 --> 00:10:41.270 align:center Thank you for telling us why it's important and what it is. 00:10:41.270 --> 00:10:42.550 align:center But where do I start? 00:10:42.550 --> 00:10:44.690 align:center I'm a little overwhelmed right now!" 00:10:44.690 --> 00:10:47.900 align:center And so I want to say... this is the universal question. 00:10:47.900 --> 00:10:51.430 align:center And it's related to these common pain points that everyone has: 00:10:51.430 --> 00:10:53.570 align:center time being the major one. 00:10:53.570 --> 00:10:56.410 align:center "Where am I supposed to find the time to do this?" 00:10:56.410 --> 00:10:58.460 align:center "How do I learn this stuff? 00:10:58.460 --> 00:11:01.370 align:center You're telling me I have to learn a few new skills. 00:11:01.370 --> 00:11:03.585 align:center Where and how am I going to do that? 00:11:03.585 --> 00:11:05.570 align:center Can't someone just give me a checklist, 00:11:05.570 --> 00:11:07.520 align:center an easy checklist to go over? 00:11:07.520 --> 00:11:11.180 align:center Can't AI come in and save us and fix this for us?" 00:11:11.180 --> 00:11:14.020 align:center And the answer to all those questions 00:11:14.020 --> 00:11:20.470 align:center is we have to blend these things into our existing structures. 00:11:20.470 --> 00:11:22.550 align:center There are some people working on checklists. 00:11:22.550 --> 00:11:24.370 align:center Those will probably come out, and so you 00:11:24.370 --> 00:11:26.500 align:center want to keep attention to that. 00:11:26.500 --> 00:11:28.780 align:center AI is going to help us a lot, but it's not 00:11:28.780 --> 00:11:33.130 align:center going to fix things for us completely because we have 00:11:33.130 --> 00:11:35.013 align:center nuanced reasons for sharing certain things 00:11:35.013 --> 00:11:36.430 align:center with our students, and AI is never 00:11:36.430 --> 00:11:39.480 align:center going to know the nuance of our decision making. 00:11:39.480 --> 00:11:42.240 align:center But all these things are coming. 00:11:42.240 --> 00:11:45.880 align:center But the best place to start, in my opinion, 00:11:45.880 --> 00:11:49.590 align:center is to pause, ponder, and take inventory 00:11:49.590 --> 00:11:52.210 align:center to figure out where we are right now. 00:11:52.210 --> 00:11:54.520 align:center A lot of people would say that's the current state, 00:11:54.520 --> 00:11:56.350 align:center the current state of our content, 00:11:56.350 --> 00:11:58.000 align:center the current state of our skill set. 00:11:58.000 --> 00:11:59.690 align:center And that's what we'll focus on today. 00:12:02.370 --> 00:12:04.780 align:center So we want to start with a wider view. 00:12:04.780 --> 00:12:07.590 align:center And I'm going to quote Socrates here, who said, 00:12:07.590 --> 00:12:09.840 align:center "To know thyself is the beginning of a course 00:12:09.840 --> 00:12:11.710 align:center accessibility strategy." 00:12:11.710 --> 00:12:15.570 align:center Never knew he thought about accessibility, right? 00:12:15.570 --> 00:12:17.080 align:center OK, I did modify it. 00:12:17.080 --> 00:12:18.600 align:center He said "wisdom." 00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:20.430 align:center I'm saying "course accessibility." 00:12:20.430 --> 00:12:21.990 align:center Kind of the same thing. 00:12:21.990 --> 00:12:24.900 align:center My philosophy on starting a strategy 00:12:24.900 --> 00:12:27.455 align:center is to think about Socrates. 00:12:27.455 --> 00:12:29.730 align:center "To know thyself is the beginning of wisdom." 00:12:29.730 --> 00:12:33.990 align:center To know thyself, how we work right now, 00:12:33.990 --> 00:12:38.460 align:center is the beginning of wisdom when it comes how to move forward. 00:12:38.460 --> 00:12:41.500 align:center So what I believe in and what we're going to do today 00:12:41.500 --> 00:12:45.660 align:center is that taking the time to reflect on where you're starting 00:12:45.660 --> 00:12:48.520 align:center can help you develop where to go forward. 00:12:48.520 --> 00:12:52.620 align:center And so we want to really get a sense, a real sense of, what 00:12:52.620 --> 00:12:55.900 align:center tools do you typically rely on to do your work? 00:12:55.900 --> 00:12:58.060 align:center What is your typical workflow? 00:12:58.060 --> 00:13:03.100 align:center How do you build your courses on a regular quarter? 00:13:03.100 --> 00:13:05.010 align:center What do you already know? 00:13:05.010 --> 00:13:07.270 align:center What do you need to know and learn? 00:13:07.270 --> 00:13:09.310 align:center Where are you going to need help and guidance, 00:13:09.310 --> 00:13:12.400 align:center and where are you going to be able to do things on your own? 00:13:12.400 --> 00:13:15.580 align:center This is where that "know thyself" part comes in. 00:13:15.580 --> 00:13:18.048 align:center When we're thinking ahead to next spring, 00:13:18.048 --> 00:13:19.590 align:center how am I going to get from here where 00:13:19.590 --> 00:13:24.390 align:center I am now to a stronger place by the time next spring comes 00:13:24.390 --> 00:13:24.890 align:center along? 00:13:27.510 --> 00:13:29.130 align:center So here's what we're going to talk 00:13:29.130 --> 00:13:32.020 align:center about today, those first steps towards that wider view. 00:13:32.020 --> 00:13:36.720 align:center So we're going to go ahead and look at this document in just 00:13:36.720 --> 00:13:37.220 align:center a minute. 00:13:37.220 --> 00:13:40.270 align:center So I want to make sure that if you just came in, 00:13:40.270 --> 00:13:43.090 align:center to make sure that you make a copy for yourself 00:13:43.090 --> 00:13:44.240 align:center of the handout. 00:13:44.240 --> 00:13:46.250 align:center It's in the chat. 00:13:46.250 --> 00:13:48.430 align:center Andrea has dropped a link there. 00:13:48.430 --> 00:13:51.610 align:center So open that link, and make a copy for yourself 00:13:51.610 --> 00:13:52.820 align:center of the document. 00:13:52.820 --> 00:13:54.850 align:center And then we're going to do three stages 00:13:54.850 --> 00:13:56.890 align:center of going through this document. 00:13:56.890 --> 00:13:59.740 align:center The first one, we're going to do a little informal audit 00:13:59.740 --> 00:14:01.580 align:center of your tools and processes. 00:14:01.580 --> 00:14:04.090 align:center Audit's kind of a yucky word, but we're 00:14:04.090 --> 00:14:07.490 align:center assessing, doing a little take on where you are. 00:14:07.490 --> 00:14:11.690 align:center Then this next step is to focus on the first next thing. 00:14:11.690 --> 00:14:15.110 align:center And I'll explain what that means when we get there. 00:14:15.110 --> 00:14:18.580 align:center And the step three is setting up a cleaner, leaner Canvas course 00:14:18.580 --> 00:14:20.480 align:center or whatever alternative you use. 00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:24.550 align:center And I have noticed that I keep saying cleaner, meaner Canvas 00:14:24.550 --> 00:14:26.620 align:center course when I talk about this. 00:14:26.620 --> 00:14:29.980 align:center So I'm not trying to be mean, but "cleaner, meaner" 00:14:29.980 --> 00:14:33.736 align:center sometimes gets us further in our own processes. 00:14:36.350 --> 00:14:40.370 align:center So let's start with step one of getting that wider 00:14:40.370 --> 00:14:42.980 align:center view of where we are. 00:14:42.980 --> 00:14:46.910 align:center So doing an informal audit, it's easier 00:14:46.910 --> 00:14:51.080 align:center to create a strategy for moving forward if we already 00:14:51.080 --> 00:14:54.800 align:center have a sense of where we are because that will allow us 00:14:54.800 --> 00:14:57.240 align:center to find those little pieces of time, 00:14:57.240 --> 00:15:00.020 align:center allow us to integrate some new things 00:15:00.020 --> 00:15:03.110 align:center into our current processes. 00:15:03.110 --> 00:15:05.610 align:center I don't know if any of you have done this before, 00:15:05.610 --> 00:15:09.230 align:center but periodically, I'll do a New Year's resolution or something 00:15:09.230 --> 00:15:12.050 align:center and say, I need to improve my time management. 00:15:12.050 --> 00:15:15.270 align:center And I'll try this new method. 00:15:15.270 --> 00:15:17.150 align:center Maybe there's a new book on time management 00:15:17.150 --> 00:15:19.290 align:center or a new app or a new something. 00:15:19.290 --> 00:15:22.160 align:center And I typically find I can get a really good start 00:15:22.160 --> 00:15:26.940 align:center with the new process and new time management technique. 00:15:26.940 --> 00:15:29.820 align:center But I end up going back to the way I usually do things. 00:15:29.820 --> 00:15:31.440 align:center It doesn't last very long. 00:15:31.440 --> 00:15:35.790 align:center And that's because I'm trying to work against my typical patterns 00:15:35.790 --> 00:15:39.070 align:center when I try this new technique instead of working with them. 00:15:39.070 --> 00:15:44.310 align:center And so this informal audit of "what tools do I rely on to do 00:15:44.310 --> 00:15:48.550 align:center my work, what is my typical workflow, how do I do things, 00:15:48.550 --> 00:15:52.140 align:center how do I share content with colleagues or students..." 00:15:52.140 --> 00:15:54.600 align:center having a sense of that can help us figure out 00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:59.500 align:center how to work with our usual processes, tools, and techniques 00:15:59.500 --> 00:16:03.250 align:center instead of trying to change how we do things completely. 00:16:03.250 --> 00:16:06.390 align:center It'll help us pinpoint specific pathways 00:16:06.390 --> 00:16:12.760 align:center that then we can transfer into a sort of accessibility plan. 00:16:12.760 --> 00:16:14.940 align:center So what I'm going to do is ask you 00:16:14.940 --> 00:16:19.230 align:center to just look at the first section of the handout. 00:16:19.230 --> 00:16:23.530 align:center And what you'll notice with this handout is for every step, 00:16:23.530 --> 00:16:26.170 align:center I give you a little overview or instruction. 00:16:26.170 --> 00:16:28.170 align:center And then you'll see each step has 00:16:28.170 --> 00:16:32.210 align:center a series of large questions with bullets under them. 00:16:32.210 --> 00:16:34.540 align:center And so I'm trying to capture in this document 00:16:34.540 --> 00:16:37.600 align:center different ways people might approach different aspects 00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:38.840 align:center of their course. 00:16:38.840 --> 00:16:40.270 align:center And what I want you to do is just 00:16:40.270 --> 00:16:42.620 align:center go through, see it as a questionnaire. 00:16:42.620 --> 00:16:44.650 align:center You're just trying to answer and get 00:16:44.650 --> 00:16:47.630 align:center a familiarity of what you typically do. 00:16:47.630 --> 00:16:50.710 align:center So you might highlight the bullet lists that relate to you 00:16:50.710 --> 00:16:51.800 align:center or put a check mark. 00:16:51.800 --> 00:16:53.090 align:center You can do whatever you want. 00:16:53.090 --> 00:16:55.030 align:center Take notes as much as you want. 00:16:55.030 --> 00:16:57.830 align:center And then at the end of the series of questions, 00:16:57.830 --> 00:17:01.130 align:center there will be a reflection for each of these steps. 00:17:01.130 --> 00:17:03.340 align:center And so what we're going to do next 00:17:03.340 --> 00:17:09.250 align:center is Andrea is going to open two breakout rooms. 00:17:09.250 --> 00:17:13.540 align:center One will be for people who just want to get off camera and just 00:17:13.540 --> 00:17:15.260 align:center work on their own silently. 00:17:15.260 --> 00:17:18.020 align:center And one will be for if you want to work together. 00:17:18.020 --> 00:17:20.089 align:center You can also stay in the main room. 00:17:20.089 --> 00:17:25.390 align:center --step one, and you can voice any observations, 00:17:25.390 --> 00:17:27.260 align:center or you can put them in chat, if you will. 00:17:27.260 --> 00:17:31.860 align:center But I'm just curious about, what are some observations you made 00:17:31.860 --> 00:17:35.970 align:center about your current workflow, things maybe that you rely on 00:17:35.970 --> 00:17:38.310 align:center or tools that you're familiar with? 00:17:38.310 --> 00:17:40.800 align:center And how might this audit or assessment-- 00:17:40.800 --> 00:17:43.590 align:center the word audit's weird, but how might it help you 00:17:43.590 --> 00:17:48.180 align:center pinpoint some areas that you might 00:17:48.180 --> 00:17:51.900 align:center see as priorities or specific areas 00:17:51.900 --> 00:17:58.530 align:center that you could include in your eventual strategy or to-do list 00:17:58.530 --> 00:18:00.270 align:center or action items? 00:18:00.270 --> 00:18:05.130 align:center So any comments or observations that you 00:18:05.130 --> 00:18:07.925 align:center might have about step one? 00:18:10.470 --> 00:18:15.280 align:center Yesterday, I was doing this workshop at UW Bothell, 00:18:15.280 --> 00:18:18.810 align:center and one person said she realized that she 00:18:18.810 --> 00:18:24.000 align:center alternates between using Google Docs and Microsoft. 00:18:24.000 --> 00:18:28.210 align:center She uses them in tandem or uses them for different audiences. 00:18:28.210 --> 00:18:32.410 align:center And so her reflection was, "Should I 00:18:32.410 --> 00:18:38.620 align:center keep using two different methods, Google and Microsoft? 00:18:38.620 --> 00:18:41.240 align:center Or should I just use one? 00:18:41.240 --> 00:18:44.560 align:center Am I doing double work to use two different methods, 00:18:44.560 --> 00:18:47.590 align:center or should I focus on one? 00:18:47.590 --> 00:18:50.020 align:center Should I keep doing what I'm doing?" 00:18:50.020 --> 00:18:56.020 align:center So it was just the question of "This is what I do all the time. 00:18:56.020 --> 00:18:57.440 align:center Should I keep doing it? 00:18:57.440 --> 00:19:01.600 align:center Should I reassess what the options are?" 00:19:01.600 --> 00:19:06.395 align:center So I think that was an interesting thing. 00:19:06.395 --> 00:19:07.520 align:center And there wasn't an answer. 00:19:07.520 --> 00:19:09.550 align:center Like, she has to decide. 00:19:09.550 --> 00:19:12.790 align:center Based on her other assessments and other things 00:19:12.790 --> 00:19:15.255 align:center and audience and reasons, she has 00:19:15.255 --> 00:19:16.880 align:center to make that determination for herself. 00:19:16.880 --> 00:19:21.550 align:center But it gave her food for thought for thinking forward. 00:19:21.550 --> 00:19:26.920 align:center So someone is asking in chat, "Can you offer some examples 00:19:26.920 --> 00:19:29.990 align:center of what "fully accessible" means in practice? 00:19:29.990 --> 00:19:35.500 align:center For instance, PDFs being able to be read online and/or all videos 00:19:35.500 --> 00:19:36.500 align:center captioned." 00:19:36.500 --> 00:19:39.013 align:center That's a really big question. 00:19:42.130 --> 00:19:46.600 align:center And it's a tough one to answer because I think there's not 00:19:46.600 --> 00:19:50.895 align:center to perfection goal here. 00:19:50.895 --> 00:19:54.910 align:center I think if we looked for fully accessible, 00:19:54.910 --> 00:19:56.630 align:center that's something we chase. 00:19:56.630 --> 00:19:59.950 align:center 100% accessible of anything is something we chase 00:19:59.950 --> 00:20:02.770 align:center and we aim for and we're trying to reach. 00:20:02.770 --> 00:20:06.670 align:center But it's difficult to pinpoint exactly what that 00:20:06.670 --> 00:20:07.790 align:center looks like all the time. 00:20:07.790 --> 00:20:09.970 align:center But I guess for an example, it might 00:20:09.970 --> 00:20:15.940 align:center be-- let's say you're recording your lectures for your students 00:20:15.940 --> 00:20:17.230 align:center and posting them. 00:20:17.230 --> 00:20:19.750 align:center Fully accessible lecture recordings 00:20:19.750 --> 00:20:24.430 align:center would be lecture recordings that have captions enabled, 00:20:24.430 --> 00:20:30.630 align:center that have transcripts, and that also have audio description that 00:20:30.630 --> 00:20:36.600 align:center describes anything that you're doing in the lecture that is not 00:20:36.600 --> 00:20:37.540 align:center verbalized. 00:20:37.540 --> 00:20:42.060 align:center So, for example, if you're silently doing a demo, 00:20:42.060 --> 00:20:49.000 align:center like a lot of computer science instructors might do a live-- 00:20:49.000 --> 00:20:51.450 align:center they might write out some programming language 00:20:51.450 --> 00:20:54.420 align:center on the whiteboard as a demonstration 00:20:54.420 --> 00:20:57.700 align:center of correct programming language. 00:20:57.700 --> 00:21:00.780 align:center If they're not doing that verbally and saying, this 00:21:00.780 --> 00:21:03.540 align:center is what I'm doing, and if they're not narrating what 00:21:03.540 --> 00:21:06.900 align:center they're doing on the whiteboard, they 00:21:06.900 --> 00:21:09.840 align:center would have to add audio description later 00:21:09.840 --> 00:21:13.900 align:center after the video to make sure it's fully accessible. 00:21:13.900 --> 00:21:17.205 align:center So that might be an example. 00:21:17.205 --> 00:21:18.910 align:center If I'm getting your question correctly, 00:21:18.910 --> 00:21:23.010 align:center that might be an example, a fully accessible lecture video, 00:21:23.010 --> 00:21:26.070 align:center making sure all that stuff is happening. 00:21:26.070 --> 00:21:29.790 align:center So for those, you might have to change some behaviors 00:21:29.790 --> 00:21:33.720 align:center or learn a few settings in Panopto 00:21:33.720 --> 00:21:37.470 align:center to make sure those things are happening altogether. 00:21:37.470 --> 00:21:38.800 align:center OK, so I get a "Thanks. 00:21:38.800 --> 00:21:39.550 align:center That was helpful." 00:21:39.550 --> 00:21:40.170 align:center Yeah. 00:21:40.170 --> 00:21:44.100 align:center And we could take any sort of piece of content 00:21:44.100 --> 00:21:46.830 align:center and go through that kind of example. 00:21:46.830 --> 00:21:51.570 align:center But, again, right now, we're aiming for the best we can 00:21:51.570 --> 00:21:53.290 align:center with the tools we have. 00:21:53.290 --> 00:21:55.720 align:center And then what we need to do is learn-- 00:21:55.720 --> 00:21:59.190 align:center OK, like with the example just now, 00:21:59.190 --> 00:22:04.240 align:center learn the few elements that we can have control over; 00:22:04.240 --> 00:22:07.570 align:center we can learn; we can do on our own to get us further. 00:22:07.570 --> 00:22:11.200 align:center And then we'll start learning what is beyond our skill set. 00:22:11.200 --> 00:22:13.740 align:center What do we need to ask learning technologies for help 00:22:13.740 --> 00:22:16.250 align:center with or accessible technology services? 00:22:19.060 --> 00:22:21.800 align:center OK, someone was having technical difficulties. 00:22:21.800 --> 00:22:23.800 align:center So we will share the slides, and there 00:22:23.800 --> 00:22:26.380 align:center will be a recording as well. 00:22:26.380 --> 00:22:27.710 align:center OK, great. 00:22:27.710 --> 00:22:28.280 align:center Let's see. 00:22:28.280 --> 00:22:30.820 align:center Is there anything else on chat? 00:22:30.820 --> 00:22:31.880 align:center I don't think so. 00:22:31.880 --> 00:22:32.530 align:center Great. 00:22:32.530 --> 00:22:34.480 align:center So that's the kind of thing that I'm 00:22:34.480 --> 00:22:38.410 align:center hoping this Step One is getting you to think about. 00:22:38.410 --> 00:22:39.590 align:center What do I do? 00:22:39.590 --> 00:22:41.480 align:center How do I do it right now? 00:22:41.480 --> 00:22:44.830 align:center Do I need to make decisions, or what can it 00:22:44.830 --> 00:22:49.930 align:center tell me about how I can fit in accessibility practices 00:22:49.930 --> 00:22:53.320 align:center as I move forward based on what I know right now? 00:22:53.320 --> 00:22:57.910 align:center OK, so the next step is what I call the First Next Thing, which 00:22:57.910 --> 00:22:59.270 align:center is kind of a mouthful. 00:22:59.270 --> 00:23:03.940 align:center But it's easier to start moving forward on this big mission 00:23:03.940 --> 00:23:09.910 align:center of accessibility if we slow down a bit and think about what is 00:23:09.910 --> 00:23:16.630 align:center next versus, "Oh, no, I have to go back to all my old stuff 00:23:16.630 --> 00:23:19.640 align:center and remediate it and fix it." 00:23:19.640 --> 00:23:21.660 align:center That might be part of the process, 00:23:21.660 --> 00:23:25.250 align:center and it will probably be a part of your strategy. 00:23:25.250 --> 00:23:29.070 align:center But probably the most proactive thing, in my opinion, 00:23:29.070 --> 00:23:33.350 align:center is to start by moving forward to the next thing you're 00:23:33.350 --> 00:23:40.100 align:center doing or creating or building, applying that as a priority 00:23:40.100 --> 00:23:43.140 align:center and maybe applying new skills to that new thing 00:23:43.140 --> 00:23:47.820 align:center so you don't have to go back in six months and remediate that. 00:23:47.820 --> 00:23:50.510 align:center So looking at what is the next thing, 00:23:50.510 --> 00:23:53.210 align:center and how can I build more accessibility 00:23:53.210 --> 00:23:55.680 align:center or think about accessibility for the next thing? 00:23:55.680 --> 00:23:59.810 align:center So for example, what's the first next course I'll be teaching? 00:23:59.810 --> 00:24:01.260 align:center It's the end of spring quarter. 00:24:01.260 --> 00:24:03.680 align:center Fall quarter is probably, for most of you, 00:24:03.680 --> 00:24:04.700 align:center the first next thing. 00:24:04.700 --> 00:24:07.590 align:center Some of you might have summer classes. 00:24:07.590 --> 00:24:09.500 align:center You can only do so much when it's 00:24:09.500 --> 00:24:11.840 align:center happening in a couple of weeks. 00:24:11.840 --> 00:24:14.610 align:center "What is the first next document I'm going to be creating 00:24:14.610 --> 00:24:17.400 align:center or the first next slide deck?" 00:24:17.400 --> 00:24:20.190 align:center Aiming for looking at that and learning 00:24:20.190 --> 00:24:23.160 align:center from the process of creating the next new thing 00:24:23.160 --> 00:24:25.560 align:center can help you learn and build skills 00:24:25.560 --> 00:24:29.680 align:center that you can use for future or for fixing. 00:24:29.680 --> 00:24:33.120 align:center So it can help you start a quick to-do list that 00:24:33.120 --> 00:24:37.120 align:center can be the initial stage of a larger strategy plan. 00:24:37.120 --> 00:24:40.560 align:center So what we're going to do now is go back and do the same thing 00:24:40.560 --> 00:24:44.460 align:center we just did with Step One. 00:24:44.460 --> 00:24:47.790 align:center And Step Two on the handout is about assessing 00:24:47.790 --> 00:24:49.720 align:center that first next thing for yourself. 00:24:49.720 --> 00:24:52.890 align:center And you're going to end with a little mini to-do list 00:24:52.890 --> 00:24:55.080 align:center for the first day of the next quarter 00:24:55.080 --> 00:24:57.570 align:center or the first week of the next quarter. 00:24:57.570 --> 00:24:59.460 align:center And those of you who are-- if you're staff 00:24:59.460 --> 00:25:01.500 align:center and you're not working on classes, 00:25:01.500 --> 00:25:05.370 align:center you can adapt this to work with the type of materials 00:25:05.370 --> 00:25:09.570 align:center that you share or that you need to build for the next big thing 00:25:09.570 --> 00:25:10.632 align:center that you're doing. 00:25:10.632 --> 00:25:12.090 align:center So we're going to do the same thing 00:25:12.090 --> 00:25:16.010 align:center we did before, five to eight minutes to work on Step Two, 00:25:16.010 --> 00:25:17.350 align:center just on your own. 00:25:17.350 --> 00:25:18.880 align:center We'll open the breakout rooms again 00:25:18.880 --> 00:25:21.470 align:center so you can work silently if you would like. 00:25:21.470 --> 00:25:25.780 align:center And then we'll come back in a few minutes and discuss. 00:25:25.780 --> 00:25:27.617 align:center OK, so now that we're all back, I just 00:25:27.617 --> 00:25:29.200 align:center want to do what we did before and have 00:25:29.200 --> 00:25:31.600 align:center another little check-in. 00:25:31.600 --> 00:25:34.510 align:center And so I'm just curious about-- 00:25:34.510 --> 00:25:39.490 align:center and, again, if you want to, share in the chat or voice. 00:25:39.490 --> 00:25:43.750 align:center So any thoughts or ideas or observations 00:25:43.750 --> 00:25:47.600 align:center that came after doing the next first next thing step? 00:25:47.600 --> 00:25:48.800 align:center And that's a longer step. 00:25:48.800 --> 00:25:49.880 align:center It's more complicated. 00:25:49.880 --> 00:25:54.225 align:center So you might actually have a little homework to complete it. 00:25:54.225 --> 00:25:56.770 align:center It takes a little more thought than Step One, I think, 00:25:56.770 --> 00:25:59.680 align:center because you're anticipating. 00:25:59.680 --> 00:26:02.290 align:center And it does help you anticipate where 00:26:02.290 --> 00:26:04.430 align:center you might start when it comes to planning, 00:26:04.430 --> 00:26:08.230 align:center helps you see what your skill set already is, and maybe 00:26:08.230 --> 00:26:12.410 align:center helps you imagine what you might need to learn, 00:26:12.410 --> 00:26:15.440 align:center helps develop the perspective of I'm 00:26:15.440 --> 00:26:19.980 align:center going to build new things with more accessibility involved 00:26:19.980 --> 00:26:23.930 align:center or try to learn how to do that as opposed to only focusing 00:26:23.930 --> 00:26:25.070 align:center on the past. 00:26:25.070 --> 00:26:29.240 align:center But I'm just curious what observations or comments 00:26:29.240 --> 00:26:33.290 align:center or questions came up for you during the Step Two 00:26:33.290 --> 00:26:39.253 align:center that you might want to ask or get advice about or just share. 00:26:53.420 --> 00:26:54.652 align:center I don't see any hands. 00:26:59.570 --> 00:27:02.825 align:center One thing I think about-- 00:27:02.825 --> 00:27:05.600 align:center and this is related to the next one, is-- 00:27:05.600 --> 00:27:06.870 align:center and I'll get into it more. 00:27:06.870 --> 00:27:11.040 align:center But sometimes when I talk to faculty about working 00:27:11.040 --> 00:27:13.980 align:center on accessibility, like learning some new skills and building 00:27:13.980 --> 00:27:19.180 align:center some new practices, they often have this natural reaction, 00:27:19.180 --> 00:27:23.760 align:center which is, "Do I have to tear down my whole course and rebuild 00:27:23.760 --> 00:27:25.840 align:center it to make it accessible?" 00:27:25.840 --> 00:27:31.230 align:center And I think of that as there's a difference between demolishing 00:27:31.230 --> 00:27:33.580 align:center a house and rebuilding from scratch, 00:27:33.580 --> 00:27:36.490 align:center and then there's redecorating our home. 00:27:36.490 --> 00:27:40.350 align:center And I think what I would hope people consider 00:27:40.350 --> 00:27:42.900 align:center is that this is kind of like redecorating a room as 00:27:42.900 --> 00:27:45.090 align:center opposed to tearing the house to the ground 00:27:45.090 --> 00:27:47.580 align:center and rebuilding it from scratch. 00:27:47.580 --> 00:27:50.430 align:center And that's where we're getting into the next step, which 00:27:50.430 --> 00:27:55.417 align:center is starting with a cleaner, leaner Canvas course. 00:27:55.417 --> 00:27:57.000 align:center I'm going to focus on Canvas, but this 00:27:57.000 --> 00:28:02.130 align:center is whatever system you use to share, disseminate your content 00:28:02.130 --> 00:28:04.200 align:center with your students, or, if you're staff, 00:28:04.200 --> 00:28:06.390 align:center with colleagues and other people. 00:28:06.390 --> 00:28:11.140 align:center What we're thinking about when it comes to not only increasing 00:28:11.140 --> 00:28:14.560 align:center accessibility as a whole but this particular step of starting 00:28:14.560 --> 00:28:17.770 align:center with a cleaner, leaner Canvas course 00:28:17.770 --> 00:28:19.930 align:center in fall quarter or the next quarter 00:28:19.930 --> 00:28:24.220 align:center is if I want to redecorate a room in my house, what I'll 00:28:24.220 --> 00:28:26.950 align:center typically do is move all the furniture out 00:28:26.950 --> 00:28:28.310 align:center or all the stuff out. 00:28:28.310 --> 00:28:32.290 align:center I might patch the walls where I had hung things 00:28:32.290 --> 00:28:35.690 align:center and spackle and sand it. 00:28:35.690 --> 00:28:38.990 align:center Then I'm going to paint the walls a new color. 00:28:38.990 --> 00:28:41.920 align:center Then I'm going to bring in a lot of the old stuff 00:28:41.920 --> 00:28:45.020 align:center that I had before but probably some new things as well. 00:28:45.020 --> 00:28:48.940 align:center I'll probably get rid of some of the old furniture that's 00:28:48.940 --> 00:28:52.310 align:center been cluttering it up, keep some good pieces, 00:28:52.310 --> 00:28:55.360 align:center maybe bring in some new stuff, and it'll 00:28:55.360 --> 00:28:58.330 align:center be a whole different thing, maybe even with a lot 00:28:58.330 --> 00:28:59.870 align:center of the same stuff I had before. 00:28:59.870 --> 00:29:03.520 align:center But it's got a fresh coat, a fresh look, a new improvement. 00:29:03.520 --> 00:29:05.590 align:center That's what we're thinking about when 00:29:05.590 --> 00:29:08.630 align:center we're thinking about the cleaner, leaner Step Three 00:29:08.630 --> 00:29:10.140 align:center part of the process. 00:29:10.140 --> 00:29:12.960 align:center And if you're a staff member or you don't use Canvas, 00:29:12.960 --> 00:29:16.280 align:center we can think of it as, how am I structuring and organizing 00:29:16.280 --> 00:29:20.670 align:center and storing the content that I then share with people as well? 00:29:20.670 --> 00:29:23.660 align:center And so that's where we're going with Step Three. 00:29:23.660 --> 00:29:29.270 align:center What do I typically do when I'm moving from one Canvas shell 00:29:29.270 --> 00:29:30.120 align:center to the next? 00:29:30.120 --> 00:29:32.460 align:center So say you're teaching this class this quarter. 00:29:32.460 --> 00:29:34.650 align:center You're going to teach it again fall quarter. 00:29:34.650 --> 00:29:38.750 align:center How do you share; how do you move content from one shell 00:29:38.750 --> 00:29:39.450 align:center to the next? 00:29:39.450 --> 00:29:40.710 align:center What do you keep? 00:29:40.710 --> 00:29:42.870 align:center How do you organize it when you're keeping it? 00:29:42.870 --> 00:29:44.580 align:center How do you share the material? 00:29:44.580 --> 00:29:49.040 align:center So, again, it's almost like step two. 00:29:49.040 --> 00:29:51.620 align:center It's more physical, I guess, because we're 00:29:51.620 --> 00:29:53.420 align:center thinking about what we're carrying 00:29:53.420 --> 00:29:57.450 align:center with us from this quarter to the next time we teach 00:29:57.450 --> 00:29:59.420 align:center the classes we're teaching. 00:29:59.420 --> 00:30:08.430 align:center So I'm going to go ahead and share, again, our work slide 00:30:08.430 --> 00:30:11.190 align:center because we're going to have the five to eight minutes to work 00:30:11.190 --> 00:30:12.460 align:center on Step Three. 00:30:12.460 --> 00:30:16.380 align:center And this might be the step that actually helps you the most when 00:30:16.380 --> 00:30:20.940 align:center you're thinking ahead to creating a to-do list or a plan 00:30:20.940 --> 00:30:24.810 align:center for yourself moving forward, especially if you're trying 00:30:24.810 --> 00:30:26.170 align:center to tinker with fall quarter. 00:30:26.170 --> 00:30:28.110 align:center So we're going to go to step three. 00:30:28.110 --> 00:30:30.190 align:center Again, we're thinking of Canvas. 00:30:30.190 --> 00:30:32.970 align:center But again, you can adapt this for whatever system 00:30:32.970 --> 00:30:34.450 align:center you typically use. 00:30:34.450 --> 00:30:36.750 align:center And we're going to do again five to eight minutes 00:30:36.750 --> 00:30:40.000 align:center to work on this section of the handout. 00:30:40.000 --> 00:30:42.810 align:center And then when we come back, we're going to be talking-- 00:30:42.810 --> 00:30:44.910 align:center this'll be our last work session, 00:30:44.910 --> 00:30:47.730 align:center but we'll talk a little bit more about how to prioritize 00:30:47.730 --> 00:30:50.190 align:center once we get through this one. 00:30:50.190 --> 00:30:53.320 align:center So, again, we'll be working on this till 11:57. 00:30:53.320 --> 00:30:56.460 align:center And Andrea's going to open those rooms up again for anyone 00:30:56.460 --> 00:30:57.590 align:center who wants to use them. 00:31:11.882 --> 00:31:13.816 align:center OK. 00:31:13.816 --> 00:31:16.370 align:center It is 11:57. 00:31:16.370 --> 00:31:18.045 align:center Andrea, are we ready to rock-- 00:31:21.730 --> 00:31:22.522 align:center ANDREA MANO: Yes. 00:31:22.522 --> 00:31:24.230 align:center MARY-COLLEEN JENKINS: --on the recording? 00:31:24.230 --> 00:31:25.002 align:center OK. 00:31:25.002 --> 00:31:30.070 align:center All right, so I just want to reiterate something 00:31:30.070 --> 00:31:34.840 align:center about the Canvas issue and the cleaner, leaner 00:31:34.840 --> 00:31:37.550 align:center or cleaner, meaner, leaner Canvas site, 00:31:37.550 --> 00:31:40.600 align:center starting a little fresh. 00:31:40.600 --> 00:31:45.760 align:center I should probably have some sort of trademark next to the name 00:31:45.760 --> 00:31:46.670 align:center Marie Kondo. 00:31:46.670 --> 00:31:52.690 align:center But one good practice and probably an easy start 00:31:52.690 --> 00:31:57.130 align:center for a lot of this stuff is we don't 00:31:57.130 --> 00:31:59.865 align:center want to necessarily pull over-- 00:31:59.865 --> 00:32:04.310 align:center if you copy your Canvas course from one quarter to the next, 00:32:04.310 --> 00:32:09.380 align:center we don't really want to pull over a lot of old stuff with us. 00:32:09.380 --> 00:32:12.230 align:center If possible, being more selective 00:32:12.230 --> 00:32:18.250 align:center can help you start with a stronger accessibility-- 00:32:18.250 --> 00:32:20.780 align:center your course being a stronger shell than it 00:32:20.780 --> 00:32:21.990 align:center might be otherwise. 00:32:21.990 --> 00:32:26.080 align:center And what I mean by that is when you copy over 00:32:26.080 --> 00:32:28.080 align:center in a Canvas course from one quarter to the next, 00:32:28.080 --> 00:32:30.990 align:center it's really easy to just copy the entire thing. 00:32:30.990 --> 00:32:32.340 align:center It's just a one step. 00:32:32.340 --> 00:32:34.820 align:center You hit the button to copy over the whole course, 00:32:34.820 --> 00:32:37.250 align:center and it moves, and you're done. 00:32:37.250 --> 00:32:43.010 align:center The problem with that option is you're pulling over everything 00:32:43.010 --> 00:32:45.380 align:center from one quarter to the next, and you 00:32:45.380 --> 00:32:48.950 align:center may be pulling over old files and old pages in your Canvas 00:32:48.950 --> 00:32:51.210 align:center course that you no longer use. 00:32:51.210 --> 00:32:53.000 align:center They might be outdated. 00:32:53.000 --> 00:32:54.900 align:center I know I used to save-- 00:32:54.900 --> 00:32:57.630 align:center I was a digital hoarder when I was a teacher. 00:32:57.630 --> 00:33:02.390 align:center And I would save folders and folders and folders in my Canvas 00:33:02.390 --> 00:33:05.880 align:center files that maybe I hadn't used for five or six quarters. 00:33:05.880 --> 00:33:08.790 align:center I was just pulling them along just in case. 00:33:08.790 --> 00:33:14.480 align:center It's like if you keep half a can of the last little bit of paint 00:33:14.480 --> 00:33:16.610 align:center that you used to paint your room just in case 00:33:16.610 --> 00:33:22.010 align:center you need to touch it up later, and then years later, it's hard. 00:33:22.010 --> 00:33:23.070 align:center You can't use it anymore. 00:33:23.070 --> 00:33:24.480 align:center You're just storing it. 00:33:24.480 --> 00:33:25.740 align:center It's the same thing here. 00:33:25.740 --> 00:33:27.980 align:center We don't necessarily want to pull those old courses 00:33:27.980 --> 00:33:31.580 align:center in because the course accessibility report, if you're 00:33:31.580 --> 00:33:35.540 align:center running that in Canvas, that's going to scan your entire Canvas 00:33:35.540 --> 00:33:37.560 align:center course, including all those old files. 00:33:37.560 --> 00:33:41.390 align:center So it's going to give you an accessibility score that 00:33:41.390 --> 00:33:43.410 align:center includes files you're not using anymore. 00:33:43.410 --> 00:33:46.230 align:center So you want to carry those forward. 00:33:46.230 --> 00:33:49.370 align:center You don't necessarily want to carry these forward. 00:33:49.370 --> 00:33:53.100 align:center One exception to the rule, the ADA rule, is archived content. 00:33:53.100 --> 00:33:56.580 align:center If you have old content that you are no longer going to use, 00:33:56.580 --> 00:33:59.280 align:center you're just keeping it for reference, 00:33:59.280 --> 00:34:02.380 align:center you can put that in an archive file folder. 00:34:02.380 --> 00:34:05.820 align:center It has to be labeled "archived" and taken and stored somewhere 00:34:05.820 --> 00:34:09.120 align:center else, not in your Canvas course but maybe on your hard drive 00:34:09.120 --> 00:34:11.400 align:center or in OneDrive or something. 00:34:11.400 --> 00:34:14.520 align:center And you don't have to go back and remediate that old stuff 00:34:14.520 --> 00:34:16.510 align:center if you're not going to use it anymore. 00:34:16.510 --> 00:34:21.120 align:center If it's sitting in your Canvas folders or files and it's not 00:34:21.120 --> 00:34:25.370 align:center labeled "archives," you're expected to go back and fix 00:34:25.370 --> 00:34:25.870 align:center that. 00:34:25.870 --> 00:34:29.639 align:center So there's ways to pull out what you need to work on 00:34:29.639 --> 00:34:32.520 align:center or what you should work on versus the old material 00:34:32.520 --> 00:34:36.659 align:center that you can just store somewhere else just in case you 00:34:36.659 --> 00:34:40.030 align:center want to refer to it, but you're not going to use it again. 00:34:40.030 --> 00:34:44.460 align:center I have data sticks from 2008 with course content on it 00:34:44.460 --> 00:34:46.270 align:center that I'm never going to use again, 00:34:46.270 --> 00:34:47.560 align:center but I couldn't let go of it. 00:34:47.560 --> 00:34:49.900 align:center So they're on thumb drives. 00:34:49.900 --> 00:34:52.600 align:center No one's ever going to see them except me if I want to. 00:34:52.600 --> 00:34:53.860 align:center And they're dusty. 00:34:53.860 --> 00:34:55.139 align:center I don't use them. 00:34:55.139 --> 00:34:58.030 align:center So that's one thing to think about. 00:34:58.030 --> 00:35:03.020 align:center Being selective, taking the extra time at the front end, 00:35:03.020 --> 00:35:06.670 align:center selecting pieces one by one or groups 00:35:06.670 --> 00:35:11.290 align:center of content from one Canvas course 00:35:11.290 --> 00:35:15.010 align:center and moving those selectively instead of all at once, that 00:35:15.010 --> 00:35:17.608 align:center can help you start with a better accessibility score 00:35:17.608 --> 00:35:19.150 align:center than you might have otherwise thought 00:35:19.150 --> 00:35:21.280 align:center you would, and you didn't even have to do any work 00:35:21.280 --> 00:35:24.500 align:center except just be selective. 00:35:24.500 --> 00:35:27.790 align:center And it's less confusing for you, less confusing for students 00:35:27.790 --> 00:35:29.510 align:center if we clean up those old files. 00:35:29.510 --> 00:35:31.400 align:center And that goes for anything that we're doing. 00:35:31.400 --> 00:35:35.150 align:center Get the old, unused, and dated files somewhere else. 00:35:35.150 --> 00:35:39.140 align:center Store them so they're not in the immediate work surface, 00:35:39.140 --> 00:35:44.010 align:center so to speak, and then you can deal with them later. 00:35:44.010 --> 00:35:47.950 align:center So any quick questions before we move on? 00:35:47.950 --> 00:35:50.530 align:center I want to make sure we have plenty of time to cover 00:35:50.530 --> 00:35:53.440 align:center some priorities, how to prioritize, 00:35:53.440 --> 00:35:56.410 align:center because it's all well and good for me to say, here, 00:35:56.410 --> 00:35:58.920 align:center do this nice handout and see where you are, 00:35:58.920 --> 00:36:01.890 align:center and get a sense of the environment you're in. 00:36:01.890 --> 00:36:04.090 align:center But what do you do next? 00:36:04.090 --> 00:36:07.860 align:center So we're not going to do any more with the document 00:36:07.860 --> 00:36:08.710 align:center right now. 00:36:08.710 --> 00:36:10.980 align:center You might have a little homework if you 00:36:10.980 --> 00:36:14.230 align:center didn't get all the way through or you want to do more thinking. 00:36:14.230 --> 00:36:17.460 align:center I want you to see that document as your place 00:36:17.460 --> 00:36:20.040 align:center to experiment, your place to do some reflection 00:36:20.040 --> 00:36:22.438 align:center and take notes for yourself. 00:36:22.438 --> 00:36:24.480 align:center And hopefully you'll keep track of all the things 00:36:24.480 --> 00:36:27.300 align:center that you're doing to give yourself credit 00:36:27.300 --> 00:36:29.820 align:center for thinking ahead and doing. 00:36:29.820 --> 00:36:31.560 align:center Now I'm going to give you some ideas 00:36:31.560 --> 00:36:34.410 align:center for determining different priorities for when 00:36:34.410 --> 00:36:35.700 align:center you do make that plan. 00:36:35.700 --> 00:36:37.950 align:center So you might want to just add some notes to the bottom 00:36:37.950 --> 00:36:39.630 align:center of the document list. 00:36:39.630 --> 00:36:41.140 align:center You'll have these slides as well, 00:36:41.140 --> 00:36:43.432 align:center but you might want to just take some notes for yourself 00:36:43.432 --> 00:36:45.840 align:center as we go through these. 00:36:45.840 --> 00:36:48.640 align:center So priorities... 00:36:48.640 --> 00:36:50.350 align:center "How do I prioritize? 00:36:50.350 --> 00:36:53.170 align:center I still have all these courses, Mary-Colleen. 00:36:53.170 --> 00:36:56.650 align:center How am I going to move forward without feeling overwhelmed?" 00:36:56.650 --> 00:36:59.790 align:center And I'm going to talk about three ways, three 00:36:59.790 --> 00:37:04.410 align:center different areas you might think of prioritizing when you're just 00:37:04.410 --> 00:37:07.800 align:center getting down and starting to do the work. 00:37:07.800 --> 00:37:13.600 align:center And so I use this slide because it's the obvious next question. 00:37:13.600 --> 00:37:17.580 align:center It has a billboard, and in capital bold letters, it says, 00:37:17.580 --> 00:37:18.880 align:center "Now what?" 00:37:18.880 --> 00:37:19.830 align:center five times. 00:37:19.830 --> 00:37:20.350 align:center Now what? 00:37:20.350 --> 00:37:20.850 align:center Now what? 00:37:20.850 --> 00:37:21.630 align:center Now what? 00:37:21.630 --> 00:37:24.720 align:center So let's talk a little bit about different ways 00:37:24.720 --> 00:37:25.930 align:center you might prioritize. 00:37:25.930 --> 00:37:30.520 align:center And again, this is not you have to do it this way. 00:37:30.520 --> 00:37:32.220 align:center This is just a suggestion of where 00:37:32.220 --> 00:37:34.980 align:center you might start thinking as you start 00:37:34.980 --> 00:37:37.110 align:center creating a plan for yourself. 00:37:37.110 --> 00:37:40.210 align:center So impact is one place to look. 00:37:40.210 --> 00:37:42.180 align:center So if you're teaching multiple classes 00:37:42.180 --> 00:37:47.130 align:center on top of all the other stuff that you do as a faculty member 00:37:47.130 --> 00:37:51.850 align:center or as an instructional support for faculty, the question 00:37:51.850 --> 00:37:55.160 align:center becomes, where do I start? 00:37:55.160 --> 00:37:57.500 align:center And you can think about the impact. 00:37:57.500 --> 00:38:02.380 align:center Where is the content you're producing having the largest 00:38:02.380 --> 00:38:05.420 align:center impact for the most people? 00:38:05.420 --> 00:38:08.500 align:center So if you're trying to think of which class should I focus 00:38:08.500 --> 00:38:12.380 align:center on out of the three or four or five I teach a year, 00:38:12.380 --> 00:38:17.470 align:center you might think, "OK, the class with the largest enrollment is 00:38:17.470 --> 00:38:21.850 align:center where I'm going to start because that is where the most students 00:38:21.850 --> 00:38:23.330 align:center are going to see my content." 00:38:23.330 --> 00:38:25.900 align:center So that might be one option. 00:38:25.900 --> 00:38:28.900 align:center You might think, "OK, if I think back 00:38:28.900 --> 00:38:31.870 align:center and reflect on the accommodation requests 00:38:31.870 --> 00:38:36.480 align:center that I get, what are the most common accommodation requests I 00:38:36.480 --> 00:38:36.980 align:center get? 00:38:36.980 --> 00:38:41.200 align:center Is there something I can do in learning accessibility 00:38:41.200 --> 00:38:47.680 align:center or applying accessibility skills so I am dealing with the content 00:38:47.680 --> 00:38:51.920 align:center that relates back to the most common accommodation requests 00:38:51.920 --> 00:38:52.870 align:center that I get?" 00:38:52.870 --> 00:38:54.245 align:center If you don't know what those are, 00:38:54.245 --> 00:38:57.770 align:center you can always ask the administration 00:38:57.770 --> 00:39:01.640 align:center of your unit, the department, to ask 00:39:01.640 --> 00:39:04.220 align:center DRS what the most common accommodation 00:39:04.220 --> 00:39:07.910 align:center requests are for your department, like for history 00:39:07.910 --> 00:39:08.600 align:center or whatever. 00:39:08.600 --> 00:39:13.040 align:center That might help as a unit, everyone prioritize what content 00:39:13.040 --> 00:39:16.280 align:center should be focused on first. 00:39:16.280 --> 00:39:21.620 align:center What materials are required in your course for student success? 00:39:21.620 --> 00:39:26.480 align:center So a lot of us like to give optional or supplemental 00:39:26.480 --> 00:39:31.040 align:center materials for our students in addition to the required-- 00:39:31.040 --> 00:39:34.040 align:center stuff they need to have to get an A 00:39:34.040 --> 00:39:36.710 align:center or to be successful in your course. 00:39:36.710 --> 00:39:40.190 align:center Focus on remediating or applying the accessibility 00:39:40.190 --> 00:39:46.060 align:center practices to the required content as a first priority 00:39:46.060 --> 00:39:47.070 align:center probably. 00:39:47.070 --> 00:39:50.200 align:center I had someone ask me in a workshop, 00:39:50.200 --> 00:39:52.830 align:center "Well, I have a lot of optional content 00:39:52.830 --> 00:39:55.390 align:center that I share with students, and they're PDFs. 00:39:55.390 --> 00:39:56.770 align:center But they're optional. 00:39:56.770 --> 00:39:59.280 align:center So do I have to make those accessible?" 00:39:59.280 --> 00:40:02.260 align:center And the short answer is yes. 00:40:02.260 --> 00:40:04.560 align:center Even if it's optional material, that 00:40:04.560 --> 00:40:06.130 align:center does have to be made accessible. 00:40:06.130 --> 00:40:08.830 align:center So you can't just say, "Here's a PDF that's inaccessible, 00:40:08.830 --> 00:40:09.910 align:center but it's optional. 00:40:09.910 --> 00:40:11.640 align:center So I'm OK." 00:40:11.640 --> 00:40:15.180 align:center But what I asked the professor was, 00:40:15.180 --> 00:40:19.560 align:center do you have to have the optional content? 00:40:19.560 --> 00:40:26.310 align:center Because if you have optional content and it's not accessible, 00:40:26.310 --> 00:40:30.550 align:center it's really not optional in a sense. 00:40:30.550 --> 00:40:34.020 align:center Because if a student with a disability-- 00:40:34.020 --> 00:40:36.520 align:center or maybe someone who uses a screen reader-- 00:40:36.520 --> 00:40:40.780 align:center if they can't access the PDF for the optional content, 00:40:40.780 --> 00:40:45.410 align:center then they really don't have the choice to use it or not. 00:40:45.410 --> 00:40:46.580 align:center They can't use it. 00:40:46.580 --> 00:40:49.120 align:center So they don't have the option to benefit 00:40:49.120 --> 00:40:52.960 align:center from the optional content because they can't read it 00:40:52.960 --> 00:40:54.410 align:center or they can't open it. 00:40:54.410 --> 00:40:58.090 align:center So the question is, what's the intention 00:40:58.090 --> 00:41:00.550 align:center behind the optional material? 00:41:00.550 --> 00:41:03.400 align:center If everyone doesn't have access to it, 00:41:03.400 --> 00:41:07.600 align:center then maybe don't use that until you can make it accessible. 00:41:07.600 --> 00:41:08.900 align:center I kind of rambled that on. 00:41:08.900 --> 00:41:12.400 align:center But I think the point I'm making is focus on the required 00:41:12.400 --> 00:41:17.510 align:center material that everyone needs to succeed and then think about, 00:41:17.510 --> 00:41:19.610 align:center should I add this optional material? 00:41:19.610 --> 00:41:23.030 align:center If so, go ahead as long as you can make that accessible too. 00:41:23.030 --> 00:41:25.040 align:center So it's a time factor thing. 00:41:25.040 --> 00:41:29.380 align:center Where do you want to spend your time? 00:41:29.380 --> 00:41:31.760 align:center And then walk backwards from there. 00:41:31.760 --> 00:41:34.780 align:center So start with the required and then move to the other one. 00:41:34.780 --> 00:41:37.100 align:center And then the next one is similar. 00:41:37.100 --> 00:41:42.080 align:center What content or format best supports my learning outcomes? 00:41:42.080 --> 00:41:46.850 align:center So tie some of those "should I have this or should I not have 00:41:46.850 --> 00:41:50.810 align:center this" back to those learning objectives and prioritize 00:41:50.810 --> 00:41:53.450 align:center what's going to help you meet those learning objectives 00:41:53.450 --> 00:41:54.890 align:center for your students. 00:41:54.890 --> 00:41:59.270 align:center And sometimes that's a good way to determine where to start 00:41:59.270 --> 00:42:02.315 align:center and how much content to give. 00:42:02.315 --> 00:42:04.940 align:center The next thing-- and I'm going to spend a little time on habits 00:42:04.940 --> 00:42:06.530 align:center here. 00:42:06.530 --> 00:42:11.300 align:center So one way to think about prioritizing 00:42:11.300 --> 00:42:14.270 align:center is to think about habits you have 00:42:14.270 --> 00:42:18.350 align:center in how you create your content and how changing or tweaking 00:42:18.350 --> 00:42:20.870 align:center those habits might actually help you 00:42:20.870 --> 00:42:24.470 align:center be more efficient in creating accessible content. 00:42:24.470 --> 00:42:27.720 align:center So to illustrate this, I'm going to tell on myself, 00:42:27.720 --> 00:42:29.060 align:center and I'm going to use-- 00:42:29.060 --> 00:42:31.370 align:center I'm doing a little teeny case study 00:42:31.370 --> 00:42:35.070 align:center based on an old Canvas course accessibility report 00:42:35.070 --> 00:42:38.120 align:center I ran on one of my old courses. 00:42:38.120 --> 00:42:40.860 align:center So that's why I have this image of this guy peering around 00:42:40.860 --> 00:42:43.980 align:center the side of a wall looking a little nervous 00:42:43.980 --> 00:42:45.730 align:center because I'm telling on myself here. 00:42:45.730 --> 00:42:49.920 align:center And while I'm doing this-- and I'm going to ask Andrea to put 00:42:49.920 --> 00:42:51.420 align:center in the chat-- 00:42:51.420 --> 00:42:53.340 align:center I have a monthly meetup. 00:42:53.340 --> 00:42:56.340 align:center And my June 3 monthly meetup is going 00:42:56.340 --> 00:43:01.130 align:center to be about using a Canvas course accessibility report. 00:43:01.130 --> 00:43:03.630 align:center And I'm going to have Andrea put that in the chat for anyone 00:43:03.630 --> 00:43:06.280 align:center who wants to come because I am going to be talking about, 00:43:06.280 --> 00:43:09.420 align:center in my case study, what I learned from the Canvas course 00:43:09.420 --> 00:43:10.840 align:center accessibility report. 00:43:10.840 --> 00:43:13.470 align:center And so that meetup is to help guide people 00:43:13.470 --> 00:43:15.010 align:center on going through their own. 00:43:15.010 --> 00:43:17.370 align:center So the Canvas course accessibility report 00:43:17.370 --> 00:43:21.940 align:center is an accessibility option we have in Canvas. 00:43:21.940 --> 00:43:25.690 align:center And you can run an accessibility report of your entire course, 00:43:25.690 --> 00:43:28.570 align:center and it'll give you a score for your course. 00:43:28.570 --> 00:43:34.290 align:center And then it shows you how each element of your course scores. 00:43:34.290 --> 00:43:38.830 align:center A red dial is red flags. 00:43:38.830 --> 00:43:42.410 align:center Yellow orange dial is things are OK but not great. 00:43:42.410 --> 00:43:45.370 align:center And then a green one is yay, you did it. 00:43:45.370 --> 00:43:50.350 align:center So I ran the Canvas course accessibility report 00:43:50.350 --> 00:43:52.010 align:center on one of my old courses. 00:43:52.010 --> 00:43:54.370 align:center And what I noticed-- 00:43:54.370 --> 00:43:56.990 align:center because I did it after learning about accessibility. 00:43:56.990 --> 00:44:00.140 align:center So it's from before I knew about accessibility. 00:44:00.140 --> 00:44:03.230 align:center And what I found were some habits. 00:44:03.230 --> 00:44:06.130 align:center The red flags, the inaccessible content 00:44:06.130 --> 00:44:08.600 align:center fell into certain buckets. 00:44:08.600 --> 00:44:13.360 align:center And I said, "OK, these buckets are showing up. 00:44:13.360 --> 00:44:15.020 align:center What is my process here? 00:44:15.020 --> 00:44:16.550 align:center What is my habit? 00:44:16.550 --> 00:44:20.390 align:center Can I change a few things in order to improve my scores?" 00:44:20.390 --> 00:44:22.435 align:center So here's what my old habits were. 00:44:22.435 --> 00:44:24.560 align:center And I'll show you what the scores were in a minute. 00:44:24.560 --> 00:44:29.740 align:center So I had a habit of doing impromptu scanning 00:44:29.740 --> 00:44:31.610 align:center of supplemental content. 00:44:31.610 --> 00:44:35.810 align:center So I'd say, "Oh, tomorrow, we're going to go over x in my class. 00:44:35.810 --> 00:44:39.830 align:center I have this really great page from this old textbook that I 00:44:39.830 --> 00:44:42.030 align:center think would be helpful to students to read." 00:44:42.030 --> 00:44:45.840 align:center So I would scan it and then give it to them as a PDF. 00:44:45.840 --> 00:44:48.750 align:center It was always impromptu, just kind of like, oh-- well, 00:44:48.750 --> 00:44:52.970 align:center not always, but my habit was often doing this. 00:44:52.970 --> 00:44:56.810 align:center Another habit I had was when I made headings, 00:44:56.810 --> 00:44:59.100 align:center I would do them manually. 00:44:59.100 --> 00:45:01.050 align:center So I would have a heading. 00:45:01.050 --> 00:45:02.310 align:center I would bold it. 00:45:02.310 --> 00:45:04.460 align:center I would make it larger. 00:45:04.460 --> 00:45:06.120 align:center And that looked like a heading to me. 00:45:06.120 --> 00:45:08.790 align:center So I always made headings that way. 00:45:08.790 --> 00:45:13.490 align:center What I learned later was I needed to use the tool in Word 00:45:13.490 --> 00:45:15.600 align:center to build in a heading. 00:45:15.600 --> 00:45:19.710 align:center So I needed to use a tool, not manual styles to build headings. 00:45:19.710 --> 00:45:24.030 align:center But that was my habit, just making it bold, making it large. 00:45:24.030 --> 00:45:26.910 align:center I also added a lot of images to my slides, 00:45:26.910 --> 00:45:28.560 align:center some to make it look pretty. 00:45:28.560 --> 00:45:31.130 align:center Some were important for content. 00:45:31.130 --> 00:45:34.250 align:center But I forgot to add alternative text. 00:45:34.250 --> 00:45:37.260 align:center So a screen reader user wouldn't hear 00:45:37.260 --> 00:45:41.110 align:center a description of those images because I didn't add one in. 00:45:41.110 --> 00:45:42.490 align:center Just didn't occur to me. 00:45:42.490 --> 00:45:46.060 align:center I would add the images, but I wouldn't add the alt text. 00:45:46.060 --> 00:45:49.290 align:center And then I used grammar and spell check all the time 00:45:49.290 --> 00:45:50.680 align:center as part of my editing. 00:45:50.680 --> 00:45:54.190 align:center But I was not in the habit of using accessibility checkers. 00:45:54.190 --> 00:45:58.020 align:center So I was never checking the accessibility of my content 00:45:58.020 --> 00:46:01.000 align:center because my habit was not to do so. 00:46:01.000 --> 00:46:05.230 align:center So when I looked back at my accessibility report, 00:46:05.230 --> 00:46:06.130 align:center this is what I found. 00:46:06.130 --> 00:46:07.950 align:center These are only a few things because I 00:46:07.950 --> 00:46:11.770 align:center have like 330 items on my list. 00:46:11.770 --> 00:46:12.910 align:center Here are just a few. 00:46:12.910 --> 00:46:20.490 align:center So what I learned in the first scan was I had 15 PDFs. 00:46:20.490 --> 00:46:23.183 align:center Eight of them were those impromptu scans, 00:46:23.183 --> 00:46:25.600 align:center just the last minute, "Oh, I should share this with them," 00:46:25.600 --> 00:46:27.850 align:center and I scanned it and gave it to them. 00:46:27.850 --> 00:46:32.280 align:center And I got a 0% score on all eight of those for accessibility 00:46:32.280 --> 00:46:34.390 align:center from the course report. 00:46:34.390 --> 00:46:38.660 align:center I had five PDF student samples, which is great. 00:46:38.660 --> 00:46:41.680 align:center I was sharing examples of the projects 00:46:41.680 --> 00:46:46.400 align:center so new students could see how successfully they could be done. 00:46:46.400 --> 00:46:47.930 align:center And I PDF'd them. 00:46:47.930 --> 00:46:49.270 align:center I'd saved them as PDFs. 00:46:49.270 --> 00:46:52.460 align:center And those had scores from 5% to 31%. 00:46:52.460 --> 00:46:58.540 align:center So the students did better than I did on the PDF scores. 00:46:58.540 --> 00:47:01.270 align:center I had six Word documents, and none of them 00:47:01.270 --> 00:47:03.860 align:center had headings built in using the tool. 00:47:03.860 --> 00:47:07.120 align:center I had done the manual headings, and so my scores 00:47:07.120 --> 00:47:09.730 align:center were 46% to 48%. 00:47:09.730 --> 00:47:11.920 align:center And then on my slide decks, remember 00:47:11.920 --> 00:47:15.290 align:center I said I didn't put alternative text for images. 00:47:15.290 --> 00:47:21.550 align:center So I had a 53% score, meaning the rest of my slide was good, 00:47:21.550 --> 00:47:23.630 align:center but my images weren't good. 00:47:23.630 --> 00:47:25.490 align:center And when I looked at those slides, 00:47:25.490 --> 00:47:32.040 align:center I realized 20% of the pictures I added were really-- 00:47:32.040 --> 00:47:33.420 align:center those were the important ones. 00:47:33.420 --> 00:47:34.920 align:center Those added meaning. 00:47:34.920 --> 00:47:37.850 align:center I was showing students something that related back 00:47:37.850 --> 00:47:39.980 align:center to what I was teaching them. 00:47:39.980 --> 00:47:42.350 align:center But I also learned I was really-- 00:47:42.350 --> 00:47:44.280 align:center I liked to have pretty slides. 00:47:44.280 --> 00:47:46.970 align:center So I had a lot of images, about 80%, 00:47:46.970 --> 00:47:50.070 align:center that I added just to make for visual interest, 00:47:50.070 --> 00:47:52.290 align:center to make the slides look more interesting, 00:47:52.290 --> 00:47:56.150 align:center but they didn't really enhance the meaning of the class. 00:47:56.150 --> 00:47:57.650 align:center They were just kind of cool looking, 00:47:57.650 --> 00:48:01.460 align:center like my slide I just showed you with the "Now what?" billboard. 00:48:01.460 --> 00:48:06.620 align:center And so if I think of the habits that I had, 00:48:06.620 --> 00:48:10.460 align:center I can think of ways I could tweak my habits in order 00:48:10.460 --> 00:48:12.450 align:center to improve my accessibility. 00:48:12.450 --> 00:48:13.530 align:center And I've done that since. 00:48:13.530 --> 00:48:16.340 align:center So, for example, for my PowerPoint slide 00:48:16.340 --> 00:48:19.070 align:center decks, what I needed to learn and what 00:48:19.070 --> 00:48:23.430 align:center I did learn is what alternative text is for, 00:48:23.430 --> 00:48:26.540 align:center which is so someone who has to listen through a screen reader 00:48:26.540 --> 00:48:28.460 align:center to my content, they're going to have 00:48:28.460 --> 00:48:31.810 align:center that description of the image read out loud to them. 00:48:31.810 --> 00:48:33.290 align:center So I needed to learn that. 00:48:33.290 --> 00:48:37.390 align:center And then I needed to say, well, 20% of my pictures 00:48:37.390 --> 00:48:41.770 align:center are very important for someone who's listening to understand. 00:48:41.770 --> 00:48:44.840 align:center But 80% are to make my slides look pretty. 00:48:44.840 --> 00:48:51.110 align:center So I only really need alt text for the 20%, and for the 80%, 00:48:51.110 --> 00:48:56.710 align:center I can choose a little command in Canvas or whatever 00:48:56.710 --> 00:48:59.240 align:center that makes them decorative. 00:48:59.240 --> 00:49:02.600 align:center It says these are decorative, and I can mark that, 00:49:02.600 --> 00:49:04.370 align:center and I don't have to make alternative text. 00:49:04.370 --> 00:49:06.400 align:center I didn't know that. 00:49:06.400 --> 00:49:09.830 align:center I know it now, and all my slides have alternative text. 00:49:09.830 --> 00:49:12.460 align:center But I had these habits that I just did 00:49:12.460 --> 00:49:14.030 align:center because that's how I worked. 00:49:14.030 --> 00:49:17.960 align:center The more I learned about accessibility skills and tools, 00:49:17.960 --> 00:49:21.380 align:center the more I learned, "Oh, I can add a little thing. 00:49:21.380 --> 00:49:23.360 align:center I can learn how to make headings. 00:49:23.360 --> 00:49:25.130 align:center I can learn how to do alt text. 00:49:25.130 --> 00:49:28.930 align:center And I'm going to increasingly create new stuff that's better." 00:49:28.930 --> 00:49:32.060 align:center And you may be thinking, how do I know what these skills are? 00:49:32.060 --> 00:49:35.350 align:center And I'm going to have Andrea put in the chat 00:49:35.350 --> 00:49:37.730 align:center a link to a video I did. 00:49:37.730 --> 00:49:39.530 align:center It's about 18 minutes long. 00:49:39.530 --> 00:49:45.550 align:center And it has a description of five easy tips, easy accessibility 00:49:45.550 --> 00:49:50.570 align:center skills that you can build that are related to these habits. 00:49:50.570 --> 00:49:53.900 align:center If I had been able to see that video a while back, 00:49:53.900 --> 00:49:57.680 align:center I probably would have better scores for this course. 00:49:57.680 --> 00:50:01.030 align:center So I'm going on about this a little longer 00:50:01.030 --> 00:50:05.770 align:center than the other slides because I want you to understand that I, 00:50:05.770 --> 00:50:09.440 align:center myself, I'm here to talk about accessibility. 00:50:09.440 --> 00:50:14.410 align:center But when I was a teacher, I really 00:50:14.410 --> 00:50:17.230 align:center didn't know a lot of the skills and habits 00:50:17.230 --> 00:50:19.390 align:center that I know now that I automatically 00:50:19.390 --> 00:50:21.670 align:center build into my content now. 00:50:21.670 --> 00:50:23.630 align:center And it took a little while. 00:50:23.630 --> 00:50:24.830 align:center It took some awareness. 00:50:24.830 --> 00:50:28.130 align:center It took a little more time to think about headings 00:50:28.130 --> 00:50:30.410 align:center and to build that into my workflow. 00:50:30.410 --> 00:50:34.250 align:center But now it's an automatic response 00:50:34.250 --> 00:50:36.230 align:center because I built that muscle memory, 00:50:36.230 --> 00:50:38.420 align:center and I've learned a little bit, I've applied it, 00:50:38.420 --> 00:50:39.690 align:center and it's been easier. 00:50:39.690 --> 00:50:44.130 align:center The PDFs take a little thought and a little process. 00:50:44.130 --> 00:50:46.050 align:center "What am I using them for? 00:50:46.050 --> 00:50:48.500 align:center Can I do a little more planning around them? 00:50:48.500 --> 00:50:50.600 align:center For the student samples, can I teach my students 00:50:50.600 --> 00:50:52.470 align:center how to make things a little more accessible? 00:50:52.470 --> 00:50:55.400 align:center Can I save them in a different way?" 00:50:55.400 --> 00:50:58.290 align:center That's a more complicated topic. 00:50:58.290 --> 00:51:03.260 align:center But the easier things, like headings or learning about 00:51:03.260 --> 00:51:05.360 align:center alt text for simple things; those 00:51:05.360 --> 00:51:09.410 align:center are things well within that bucket of our own ability 00:51:09.410 --> 00:51:12.620 align:center to learn these things and apply them. 00:51:12.620 --> 00:51:15.860 align:center Any quick questions or comments before I 00:51:15.860 --> 00:51:17.010 align:center move on to the next one? 00:51:17.010 --> 00:51:19.670 align:center Because this is a more complicated thing, but I did 00:51:19.670 --> 00:51:26.160 align:center want to show you that I sat in the same spot 00:51:26.160 --> 00:51:29.073 align:center when it comes to learning and building new skills. 00:51:29.073 --> 00:51:30.490 align:center And this doesn't cover everything, 00:51:30.490 --> 00:51:33.060 align:center but it does cover a lot of the baseline 00:51:33.060 --> 00:51:37.030 align:center that we can all reach over time. 00:51:37.030 --> 00:51:38.530 align:center MAYA SMITH: I had a quick question-- 00:51:38.530 --> 00:51:40.050 align:center MARY-COLLEEN JENKINS: Yeah, yeah, Maya, thank you. 00:51:40.050 --> 00:51:41.370 align:center MAYA SMITH: --on PDFs. 00:51:41.370 --> 00:51:45.840 align:center Because in your handout, you asked whether people "Save 00:51:45.840 --> 00:51:48.480 align:center As" or "Export To." 00:51:48.480 --> 00:51:50.925 align:center Which is recommended because I've heard people talk? 00:51:50.925 --> 00:51:52.050 align:center MARY-COLLEEN JENKINS: Yeah. 00:51:52.050 --> 00:51:54.640 align:center So it depends on the situation. 00:51:54.640 --> 00:51:58.740 align:center But I always default to Save As. 00:51:58.740 --> 00:52:00.780 align:center Because if you have built-- 00:52:00.780 --> 00:52:02.910 align:center let's say you created a Word document, 00:52:02.910 --> 00:52:04.830 align:center and you did all the stuff. 00:52:04.830 --> 00:52:07.390 align:center Like, you used built-in headings, 00:52:07.390 --> 00:52:10.380 align:center and you have your structure built in that way, 00:52:10.380 --> 00:52:12.210 align:center and you have alternative text. 00:52:14.940 --> 00:52:16.863 align:center There are different processes for tagging it, 00:52:16.863 --> 00:52:18.280 align:center which we're not going to get into. 00:52:18.280 --> 00:52:21.960 align:center But Save As will lock down the accessibility 00:52:21.960 --> 00:52:24.490 align:center features that you're building in. 00:52:24.490 --> 00:52:29.030 align:center Export To, I think, will also, but I'm less sure about that. 00:52:29.030 --> 00:52:32.380 align:center I need to verify that with my colleague Gaby. 00:52:32.380 --> 00:52:35.620 align:center But don't Print to PDF. 00:52:35.620 --> 00:52:39.380 align:center That's something I didn't know for a really long time. 00:52:39.380 --> 00:52:45.790 align:center But Print to PDF is not going to save any structural formatting 00:52:45.790 --> 00:52:46.880 align:center you've built in. 00:52:46.880 --> 00:52:50.320 align:center So it's not going to be tagged, is what they call it. 00:52:50.320 --> 00:52:52.680 align:center So Print to PDF is not going to save those. 00:52:57.580 --> 00:53:01.580 align:center One thing about PDFs, it's a really complex topic. 00:53:01.580 --> 00:53:03.520 align:center And so that's why in one of the sections, 00:53:03.520 --> 00:53:08.930 align:center I say, what kind of content do you do with PDFs? 00:53:08.930 --> 00:53:13.030 align:center Because there's different answers for different purposes 00:53:13.030 --> 00:53:16.090 align:center and different ways to get PDFs. 00:53:16.090 --> 00:53:19.480 align:center So creating a PDF out of your own Word document 00:53:19.480 --> 00:53:21.710 align:center that you've created, that's a different ball game 00:53:21.710 --> 00:53:25.010 align:center than having to scan a historic document from print 00:53:25.010 --> 00:53:26.730 align:center because there's no other option. 00:53:26.730 --> 00:53:29.790 align:center That's a whole different conversation. 00:53:29.790 --> 00:53:33.230 align:center So PDFs, there's levels of difficulty and levels 00:53:33.230 --> 00:53:36.500 align:center of solutions for those. 00:53:36.500 --> 00:53:37.000 align:center OK. 00:53:40.550 --> 00:53:42.560 align:center Oh, there's a question. 00:53:42.560 --> 00:53:44.420 align:center So scanned PDFs, so say something 00:53:44.420 --> 00:53:46.440 align:center from a book that's not accessible, 00:53:46.440 --> 00:53:48.740 align:center is there a way to make those accessible? 00:53:48.740 --> 00:53:50.490 align:center Yeah, there are lots of different options. 00:53:50.490 --> 00:53:53.930 align:center And I really recommend working with the library 00:53:53.930 --> 00:53:55.820 align:center as much as possible. 00:53:55.820 --> 00:53:59.750 align:center The libraries have scanners. 00:53:59.750 --> 00:54:04.290 align:center So there's a process called Optical Character Recognition. 00:54:04.290 --> 00:54:07.730 align:center And the reason that just regular scans like I 00:54:07.730 --> 00:54:09.980 align:center do on my home printer-- 00:54:09.980 --> 00:54:11.630 align:center the reason those are not accessible 00:54:11.630 --> 00:54:16.080 align:center is because I don't have the sophisticated technology 00:54:16.080 --> 00:54:20.590 align:center to have this optical character recognition. 00:54:20.590 --> 00:54:24.030 align:center So basically, I'm just taking a picture of a page 00:54:24.030 --> 00:54:25.810 align:center and sharing it. 00:54:25.810 --> 00:54:29.610 align:center And a screen reader can't read all the individual words 00:54:29.610 --> 00:54:32.500 align:center if it's just a picture of text. 00:54:32.500 --> 00:54:35.850 align:center So to scan it properly, you need to scan 00:54:35.850 --> 00:54:38.130 align:center it using the technology that's going 00:54:38.130 --> 00:54:44.950 align:center to have that layer of technology so a screen reader can read it. 00:54:44.950 --> 00:54:48.040 align:center So the libraries do have these scanners. 00:54:48.040 --> 00:54:50.760 align:center And so what I recommend, if you are able to, 00:54:50.760 --> 00:54:53.760 align:center figure out what the most common scans 00:54:53.760 --> 00:54:57.480 align:center are that you have to use for learning outcomes 00:54:57.480 --> 00:55:01.650 align:center and work with the libraries to see if you can find a cleaner 00:55:01.650 --> 00:55:06.360 align:center copy of that print, whether it's a book or article or map 00:55:06.360 --> 00:55:10.590 align:center or whatever, and then have the library scan it for you. 00:55:10.590 --> 00:55:13.860 align:center And the chances are that newer version 00:55:13.860 --> 00:55:16.860 align:center is going to be more accessible. 00:55:16.860 --> 00:55:21.192 align:center And so the interlibrary loan does that. 00:55:21.192 --> 00:55:23.930 align:center They have a scanning service, a course scanning service. 00:55:23.930 --> 00:55:28.540 align:center And you're a subject matter librarian or the chat, ask us. 00:55:28.540 --> 00:55:30.850 align:center They can often help you figure out 00:55:30.850 --> 00:55:33.980 align:center how to find the best option for that. 00:55:33.980 --> 00:55:35.440 align:center Some of them won't be, and you'll 00:55:35.440 --> 00:55:37.990 align:center have to just have them remediated or figure out 00:55:37.990 --> 00:55:38.840 align:center another way. 00:55:38.840 --> 00:55:42.050 align:center But probably more times than not, 00:55:42.050 --> 00:55:44.110 align:center they'll be able to help you either scan 00:55:44.110 --> 00:55:46.870 align:center a new copy that's better or find one 00:55:46.870 --> 00:55:50.140 align:center somewhere else that's better. 00:55:50.140 --> 00:55:54.580 align:center We need to have a whole discussion about PDFs. 00:55:54.580 --> 00:55:55.990 align:center And there's some good-- 00:55:55.990 --> 00:55:57.110 align:center thank you, Andrea. 00:55:57.110 --> 00:56:01.210 align:center Andrea has added some good content and links about PDFs 00:56:01.210 --> 00:56:02.450 align:center and those kinds of things. 00:56:02.450 --> 00:56:07.450 align:center And she describes what optical character recognition is. 00:56:07.450 --> 00:56:10.420 align:center So some of these things just takes a little more planning 00:56:10.420 --> 00:56:14.750 align:center and attention in where we're getting the source 00:56:14.750 --> 00:56:16.492 align:center documents in the libraries. 00:56:16.492 --> 00:56:18.200 align:center I talked to them recently and asking them 00:56:18.200 --> 00:56:20.640 align:center what I can say about them in these workshops. 00:56:20.640 --> 00:56:25.310 align:center And they said, "We are really great about finding things. 00:56:25.310 --> 00:56:30.800 align:center So we can help find the best option, 00:56:30.800 --> 00:56:33.360 align:center hopefully the most accessible option, 00:56:33.360 --> 00:56:37.770 align:center but the best to get us as far as possible." 00:56:37.770 --> 00:56:42.350 align:center And this leads me to my next area of prioritization, 00:56:42.350 --> 00:56:45.110 align:center thinking about those intentions. 00:56:45.110 --> 00:56:48.410 align:center So thinking about-- and this comes back from my teaching days 00:56:48.410 --> 00:56:50.610 align:center when I taught technical communication-- 00:56:50.610 --> 00:56:54.480 align:center the three magic words of audience analysis-- 00:56:54.480 --> 00:56:56.143 align:center audience, purpose, and context. 00:56:59.435 --> 00:57:00.960 align:center We have ways of teaching. 00:57:00.960 --> 00:57:03.080 align:center We have ways of collecting content 00:57:03.080 --> 00:57:04.800 align:center and creating it and sharing it. 00:57:04.800 --> 00:57:09.260 align:center And sometimes I think I used to err on the side of giving 00:57:09.260 --> 00:57:12.090 align:center students more rather than less. 00:57:12.090 --> 00:57:15.100 align:center Like, "Oh, if I just give them five more things, 00:57:15.100 --> 00:57:17.350 align:center that's going to really lock in their knowledge." 00:57:17.350 --> 00:57:19.590 align:center And what I've realized over time is-- 00:57:19.590 --> 00:57:23.250 align:center and COVID helped me with this when we had to go online. 00:57:23.250 --> 00:57:26.790 align:center What's the intent behind everything? 00:57:26.790 --> 00:57:29.230 align:center Do I really need x and y? 00:57:29.230 --> 00:57:33.520 align:center Or can I give one option instead of three? 00:57:33.520 --> 00:57:35.110 align:center And universal design for learning, 00:57:35.110 --> 00:57:37.000 align:center we want to give multiple options, of course. 00:57:37.000 --> 00:57:40.920 align:center But sometimes I was finding myself giving more 00:57:40.920 --> 00:57:45.570 align:center than students even could handle in the effort to really give 00:57:45.570 --> 00:57:47.110 align:center them everything I could. 00:57:47.110 --> 00:57:50.470 align:center And so I started thinking about course content this way. 00:57:50.470 --> 00:57:54.270 align:center Who is the audience for this particular thing? 00:57:54.270 --> 00:57:59.140 align:center And what do I need to understand to reach that whole audience? 00:57:59.140 --> 00:58:01.630 align:center What's the purpose of the content? 00:58:01.630 --> 00:58:03.820 align:center How am I using it and for what end? 00:58:03.820 --> 00:58:06.490 align:center So those impromptu scans I was talking about, 00:58:06.490 --> 00:58:09.120 align:center I could have probably just talked 00:58:09.120 --> 00:58:11.350 align:center about that same content in class. 00:58:11.350 --> 00:58:13.452 align:center I could have made it a Canvas page. 00:58:13.452 --> 00:58:15.160 align:center I could have made it just a couple bullet 00:58:15.160 --> 00:58:18.550 align:center points on a slide instead of giving them a whole page. 00:58:18.550 --> 00:58:19.610 align:center For a lot of that. 00:58:19.610 --> 00:58:21.110 align:center That wouldn't happen for everything. 00:58:21.110 --> 00:58:22.810 align:center But for a lot of the impromptu, oh, I'll 00:58:22.810 --> 00:58:27.310 align:center just do this, I didn't really have to have those things. 00:58:27.310 --> 00:58:30.080 align:center And how will my audience access this? 00:58:30.080 --> 00:58:32.540 align:center So Amy Ko, who's a professor in the iSchool, 00:58:32.540 --> 00:58:35.960 align:center had a very interesting thing she said in a talk the other day. 00:58:35.960 --> 00:58:38.560 align:center And she said she tries to look at things that she's 00:58:38.560 --> 00:58:42.315 align:center adding to her class from the five senses. 00:58:42.315 --> 00:58:43.690 align:center Is there a way I could hear this? 00:58:43.690 --> 00:58:45.260 align:center Is a way I could see this? 00:58:45.260 --> 00:58:49.610 align:center Is there a way I could change the formatting as a student? 00:58:49.610 --> 00:58:51.350 align:center I thought that was really fascinating. 00:58:51.350 --> 00:58:53.000 align:center I hadn't thought about that before, 00:58:53.000 --> 00:58:56.380 align:center but it caused me to think about things in a different way. 00:58:56.380 --> 00:58:58.540 align:center So what's the context? 00:58:58.540 --> 00:59:02.980 align:center How is my audience going to use it, like in what way? 00:59:02.980 --> 00:59:06.250 align:center And is there a relationship between this piece 00:59:06.250 --> 00:59:09.520 align:center of information and what came before and what comes after? 00:59:09.520 --> 00:59:11.660 align:center Having those relationships can help 00:59:11.660 --> 00:59:16.410 align:center us decide to prioritize some content over others. 00:59:16.410 --> 00:59:20.880 align:center So one example is recording lectures. 00:59:20.880 --> 00:59:24.620 align:center I think recording course class sessions is really 00:59:24.620 --> 00:59:27.500 align:center important for accessibility. 00:59:27.500 --> 00:59:30.740 align:center But I started thinking, when I record, 00:59:30.740 --> 00:59:33.270 align:center if I do a lot of active learning in my class, 00:59:33.270 --> 00:59:36.710 align:center I might have maybe 15 minutes of a lecture 00:59:36.710 --> 00:59:41.840 align:center and then maybe 45 minutes or 40 minutes of group work 00:59:41.840 --> 00:59:46.280 align:center or think-pair-share or independent work. 00:59:46.280 --> 00:59:51.920 align:center I don't really have to record a 50-minute class if 40 minutes 00:59:51.920 --> 00:59:54.590 align:center of that is group work. 00:59:54.590 --> 01:00:00.690 align:center Because if you're recording a lecture and your whole class, 01:00:00.690 --> 01:00:03.240 align:center if you have a recording and you're doing group work, 01:00:03.240 --> 01:00:05.570 align:center you're going to have to have audio description 01:00:05.570 --> 01:00:10.200 align:center explaining what's going on in the room for that 01:00:10.200 --> 01:00:13.560 align:center 40 minutes if it's just silent or you 01:00:13.560 --> 01:00:15.640 align:center can hear snippets of conversation, 01:00:15.640 --> 01:00:17.110 align:center but you're not seeing anybody. 01:00:17.110 --> 01:00:18.840 align:center So the most important part of that class 01:00:18.840 --> 01:00:21.330 align:center is probably that short lecture. 01:00:21.330 --> 01:00:25.230 align:center So maybe record that piece with transcripts and captions 01:00:25.230 --> 01:00:27.670 align:center and audio description if necessary, 01:00:27.670 --> 01:00:32.290 align:center and maybe don't record for the 40 minutes of group work. 01:00:32.290 --> 01:00:35.130 align:center So they're little intention things 01:00:35.130 --> 01:00:37.170 align:center that we can think about that can help 01:00:37.170 --> 01:00:40.600 align:center us make choices that are going to enhance the accessibility. 01:00:40.600 --> 01:00:43.710 align:center So that 15-minute video is probably more useful to more 01:00:43.710 --> 01:00:46.330 align:center students than the whole 50 minutes, 01:00:46.330 --> 01:00:49.440 align:center whereas 35 to 40 minutes of it is just murmuring 01:00:49.440 --> 01:00:50.970 align:center in the background. 01:00:50.970 --> 01:00:53.820 align:center So these are things that might be 01:00:53.820 --> 01:00:56.400 align:center as you go, like in-real-time decisions 01:00:56.400 --> 01:00:58.345 align:center as opposed to planning ahead. 01:00:58.345 --> 01:00:59.970 align:center But you can make decisions about things 01:00:59.970 --> 01:01:02.280 align:center you know you do all the time. 01:01:02.280 --> 01:01:05.800 align:center The PDFs you know you use all the time that are scans. 01:01:05.800 --> 01:01:07.810 align:center It might be worth having them remediated 01:01:07.810 --> 01:01:10.580 align:center because you know you're going to use them every single quarter. 01:01:10.580 --> 01:01:13.270 align:center So taking that extra time. 01:01:13.270 --> 01:01:16.480 align:center So I'll pause there just to see if anyone has any comments 01:01:16.480 --> 01:01:20.110 align:center or questions about that because we are nearing 01:01:20.110 --> 01:01:21.330 align:center the end of our time here. 01:01:25.230 --> 01:01:26.980 align:center Andrea is laughing in the chat because she 01:01:26.980 --> 01:01:29.530 align:center gave a bunch of links. 01:01:29.530 --> 01:01:30.760 align:center OK. 01:01:30.760 --> 01:01:33.292 align:center I'm just going to wrap up, and I think some of you 01:01:33.292 --> 01:01:35.500 align:center have probably seen these slides before if you've been 01:01:35.500 --> 01:01:36.740 align:center to any of my presentations. 01:01:36.740 --> 01:01:39.610 align:center But I just want to remind everyone-- 01:01:39.610 --> 01:01:42.310 align:center you've gotten a lot of information today. 01:01:42.310 --> 01:01:44.260 align:center This is a journey that we're going to be 01:01:44.260 --> 01:01:48.010 align:center on, and it's a journey that doesn't have, "Oh, you're done!" 01:01:48.010 --> 01:01:49.510 align:center Every time we build something, we're 01:01:49.510 --> 01:01:50.860 align:center going to be on this journey. 01:01:50.860 --> 01:01:54.740 align:center And learning skills, putting them into practice, 01:01:54.740 --> 01:01:57.320 align:center understanding resources, and getting more information, 01:01:57.320 --> 01:02:00.290 align:center it's going to be a step-by-step thing, and that's OK. 01:02:00.290 --> 01:02:03.370 align:center It's going to be incremental, and that's OK. 01:02:03.370 --> 01:02:07.400 align:center We want to start with foundation skills that we can. 01:02:07.400 --> 01:02:08.850 align:center Watch that little video. 01:02:08.850 --> 01:02:11.360 align:center It'll give you a lot more clarity. 01:02:11.360 --> 01:02:14.130 align:center But give yourself grace when you make mistakes. 01:02:14.130 --> 01:02:16.040 align:center Give yourself credit when you have successes 01:02:16.040 --> 01:02:18.050 align:center and when you move forward. 01:02:18.050 --> 01:02:20.960 align:center Note down every time you go to a webinar and every time 01:02:20.960 --> 01:02:23.700 align:center you do something towards this goal. 01:02:23.700 --> 01:02:28.160 align:center Keep those notes for yourself so you can see forward progression. 01:02:28.160 --> 01:02:32.170 align:center It's OK to feel frustrated, too. 01:02:32.170 --> 01:02:33.390 align:center It's going to happen. 01:02:33.390 --> 01:02:36.950 align:center It's OK to feel a little overwhelmed at times. 01:02:36.950 --> 01:02:38.700 align:center That's when you want to look for guidance, 01:02:38.700 --> 01:02:41.970 align:center reach out for help with colleagues, with my team, 01:02:41.970 --> 01:02:42.630 align:center with me. 01:02:42.630 --> 01:02:46.230 align:center And we're all in this together. 01:02:46.230 --> 01:02:47.970 align:center But it's going to take a little time. 01:02:47.970 --> 01:02:50.760 align:center And I'm just going to show you my favorite graphic again. 01:02:50.760 --> 01:02:53.010 align:center If you've seen me before, you know I always show this. 01:02:53.010 --> 01:02:56.840 align:center It's a graphic that has a representation of progress 01:02:56.840 --> 01:03:00.900 align:center in these rows of circles with little levels of blue in it. 01:03:00.900 --> 01:03:03.280 align:center And between them, they all say, "This is progress. 01:03:03.280 --> 01:03:04.420 align:center This is also progress. 01:03:04.420 --> 01:03:05.313 align:center And so is this." 01:03:05.313 --> 01:03:07.980 align:center And if you look at these little circles, you'll see none of them 01:03:07.980 --> 01:03:10.050 align:center are completely full. 01:03:10.050 --> 01:03:13.510 align:center They range from little levels of blue to big levels of blue. 01:03:13.510 --> 01:03:18.030 align:center And the point being, every little step we take forward 01:03:18.030 --> 01:03:19.420 align:center is progress. 01:03:19.420 --> 01:03:22.350 align:center And you have to be patient with yourself 01:03:22.350 --> 01:03:25.210 align:center and just allow for this process to happen. 01:03:25.210 --> 01:03:29.430 align:center And we can do this by sustainably learning 01:03:29.430 --> 01:03:32.590 align:center a few things, trying to practice them consistently, 01:03:32.590 --> 01:03:34.620 align:center scheduling some chunks of time where 01:03:34.620 --> 01:03:36.810 align:center you work on this, partnering with peers, 01:03:36.810 --> 01:03:38.580 align:center like you're doing here. 01:03:38.580 --> 01:03:41.830 align:center And most importantly, don't let perfection be the enemy of good. 01:03:41.830 --> 01:03:46.270 align:center We're going to do the best we can to move forward, 01:03:46.270 --> 01:03:49.050 align:center and that's all we can ask for ourselves. 01:03:49.050 --> 01:03:51.990 align:center And showing that good faith effort, I think, 01:03:51.990 --> 01:03:53.110 align:center is so important. 01:03:53.110 --> 01:03:54.970 align:center So keep track of what you're doing. 01:03:54.970 --> 01:03:56.190 align:center Give yourself credit. 01:03:56.190 --> 01:04:00.910 align:center And I have two more slides, but they're really reference slides. 01:04:00.910 --> 01:04:06.490 align:center So since we're going to share this with everybody, 01:04:06.490 --> 01:04:10.790 align:center I have one slide with a QR code you can take a picture of right 01:04:10.790 --> 01:04:11.290 align:center now. 01:04:11.290 --> 01:04:14.020 align:center That's a Linktree that I have, links based 01:04:14.020 --> 01:04:15.560 align:center on what faculty have asked me. 01:04:15.560 --> 01:04:18.530 align:center So it's really curated to what faculty have asked me. 01:04:18.530 --> 01:04:21.140 align:center And then I can come talk to your team anytime. 01:04:21.140 --> 01:04:25.970 align:center So I'll leave the content there for you to look on your own. 01:04:25.970 --> 01:04:28.130 align:center And then I have your link library, 01:04:28.130 --> 01:04:30.530 align:center which always happens at the end of presentations, 01:04:30.530 --> 01:04:35.150 align:center all the places you can go to look for more resources. 01:04:35.150 --> 01:04:39.325 align:center And again, these will be in the slides that I share with you. 01:04:39.325 --> 01:04:40.806 align:center OK, it's 12:30. 01:04:40.806 --> 01:04:44.890 align:center [LAUGHS] Whew, made it. 01:04:44.890 --> 01:04:48.700 align:center Happy to stick around for questions or comments. 01:04:48.700 --> 01:04:52.150 align:center But otherwise, thank you so much for coming, 01:04:52.150 --> 01:04:56.170 align:center and I appreciate your time today. 01:04:56.170 --> 01:04:59.390 align:center MAYA SMITH: Thank you, Mary-Colleen and Andrea.
