Considering textbook options for future courses? See Tips for Evaluating Textbooks for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion<\/a> for a concise guide to important factors such as accessibility; affordability; range of scholars represented; inclusive representation of people, cultural heritage and lived experiences; and whether students are given multiple ways to explore concepts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wondering how to make course materials accessible? Courses created in Canvas need to be accessible for students with disabilities, and accessibility benefits all learners. See Improving Accessibility in Your Course<\/a> for tips, tools and strategies. Then, review CAST\u2019s Universal Design graphic organizer<\/a> to learn about an approach to optimize teaching and learning for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Looking for OSU diversity, equity and inclusion events to link to your teaching?
