Accessible Syllabus at Tulane University

Posted on August 3, 2016 by Dr. J. Metzker

The Accessible Syllabus is an interesting project at Tulane University dedicated to “helping instructors build a syllabus that plans for diverse student abilities and promotes an atmosphere in which students feel comfortable discussing their unique abilities”. The site provides advice on images, language and policies you might include in your syllabus. There are also some examples of redesigned syllabi.

I reviewed that link last week. It was discussed at the most recent MERLOT Editor’s meeting.

  Very cool! I think we are going to use it at our new faculty orientation syllabus boot camp.
