Grant: AccessComputing
Amy will discuss how, employing a disability justice lens and embracing its intersections with other systems of oppression around race, gender, and class, she strives to apply a Universal Design in Learning (UDL) framework to her teaching. She'll share her philosophy on UDL and share 7 heuristics she has developed for accessible teaching in computing. NOTE: Due to Zoom-related screen-sharing in the first several minutes of the presentation, the presenter's first two slides have been statically laid over the screen share, and discussion between the presenter and host regarding tech difficulties interrupt the presentation briefly around the 00:05:45 mark.
