Description
Crucial conversations about diversity and inclusive classroom environments have added significant value to our discourse on legal research instruction. The sudden pivot from in-person learning to remote
learning due to COVID-19 sent faculty scrambling for resources to redesign courses for asynchronous and synchronous instruction. We have learned that distance education can negatively impact students with disabilities, particularly those with vision and hearing impairments. In this program, we will discuss best practices and tools, such as high contrast design themes and closed captions, instructors can use to create a more inclusive virtual environment and improve the learning experience for all students.
