Follow-up
Accessible Learning Workshop (3/13/24)
| |
|
It was great to see folks and discuss the ways we are already thinking about accessibility and aspiring towards disability justice. We wanted to follow up with this recording of the session that focuses on Chris Dickson’s work around the accessibility and accommodation at CU as well as some opportunities to think and dream deeply about how to reframe our discussion of disability.
While the entire session wasn’t recording, we did record this portion which is a great way to learn about accommodations, accessibility, and integrated work from Chris Dickson (31:05 minutes).

If you attended but didn’t complete the exit survey, please fill out these 3 questions to help us improve our work and support for you!
If you would like to know more or have additional questions, please reach out to Chris Dickson if it is about a specific student or accommodation or Sage or Lance if it is about finding more inclusive ways of teaching.
We look forward to seeing you at the second in this series on Wednesday, May 15 at 6:30pm-7:30pm where we’ll hear from Institutional Storyteller, Instructional Faculty member, and Alumni, Amanda Esons and her work bring to light students’ experiences in this area.
Thank you all,
Chris Dickson

“Leadership Skills - Words for Leaders” | |
The Students from OLC345-1 Spring ‘24 are pleased to announce the completion of their Class Project, “Leadership Skills - Words for Leaders.”
This resource (linked above) was completed as a collaborative effort by all of the students in this class as a resource for CU faculty teaching Leadership courses at CU. It presents and defines attributes of leadership in a glossary of terms.

We have revised our Capstone class to support Graduating Student Final Exhibitions as well as Big10 completion, job market preparation, and overall reflection on learning.
While this course had been very instructor-specific in the past, it will now have consistent meeting times, goals, and projects, and will include storytelling and reflection to wrap up their college journey.
