What is accessibility?听听
The design of products, devices, services, information and environments ensuring their use by people with disabilities. More specifically, accessibility enables people with disabilities to perceive, navigate, understand, and interact with products, devices, services, information and environments as well as contribute to their development.听
SKILLS21 participants vary in readiness levels, life experiences, perceptual differences, language abilities, and more. UDL practices help reduce barriers to learning and support teaching strategies that help meet the needs of all learners.
See the Inclusive workshop toolkit for ideas on translating UDL into workshop facilitation.
Three Principles for Universal Design for Learning (UDL)
Consider the following principles as you design and deliver your SKILLS21 workshops:听
- Providing听Multiple Means of Representation: Offering information in more than one modality (how information is shown). E.g. using slides, handouts, glossaries, videos, etc.听听
- Providing听Multiple Means of Action and Expression: Providing different ways for students to interact with material and demonstrate what they know and what they have learned (how people participate) E.g. provide appropriate time for different contexts like written test vs. oral presentation vs. group project
- Providing听Multiple Means of Engagement: Providing different ways for students to engage with the material. E.g. small group discussions, activities, presentations
For descriptions of these principles and how to include them, visit the 成人VR视频 Office for Students with Disabilities听Website.

While this web page is accessible worldwide, 成人VR视频 is on land which has served and continues to serve as a site of meeting and exchange amongst Indigenous peoples, including the Haudenosaunee and Anishinabeg nations. Teaching and Learning Services acknowledges and thanks the diverse Indigenous peoples whose footsteps mark this territory on which peoples of the world now gather. This land acknowledgement is shared as a starting point to provide context for further learning and action.
