SUMMARY:UDL Express: SLIDE into Accessibility: Styles
DESCRIPTION:(May 27th topic) Styles: Learn how to use built-in styles and headings to improve navigation and structureJoin us this summer for UDL Express: SLIDE into Accessibility\, a quick and practical series designed to help you make your course materials more accessible and inclusive. In this five-part Zoom series\, we’ll focus on the most impactful\, easy-to-implement accessibility fixes using the SLIDE framework—Styles\, Links\, Images\, Design\, and Evaluation. Each 30-minute session includes a 10-minute demo\, followed by time to apply what you’ve learned with guidance and support. Whether you’re working in Word\, PowerPoint\, or your Quercus course\, these small but powerful changes can make a big difference for all your learners. By the end of this series\, participants will be able to: • Identify five key elements of accessible course content using the SLIDE framework • Apply quick\, high-impact accessibility fixes to Word\, PowerPoint\, and Quercus materials • Use built-in tools and strategies to evaluate and improve the accessibility of digital content Session Schedule and Topics • Links: Make hyperlinks clear and meaningful for all users (https://ctsi.eve.utoronto.ca/home/events/5574) (June 10\, 11:30am-12pm) • Images: Add effective alt text and avoid common image accessibility barriers (https://ctsi.eve.utoronto.ca/home/events/5575) (June 24\, 11:30am-12pm) • Design: Apply colour and font choices that improve readability and reduce cognitive load (https://ctsi.eve.utoronto.ca/home/events/5576) (July 8\, 11:30am-12pm) • Evaluation: Use built-in accessibility checkers and review tools to assess and improve your content (https://ctsi.eve.utoronto.ca/home/events/5577) (July 22\, 11:30am-12pm) Whether you’re updating lecture slides\, course outlines\, or online modules\, these sessions will equip you with easy\, actionable skills that can make your materials more accessible to everyone. Learn more about the UDL Express: SLIDE into Accessibility and the UDL Conversations Series (https://teaching.utoronto.ca/teaching-uoft-udl/udl-programming/udl-conversations/).

SUMMARY:ACUE Lunch and Learn: Collaborative Group Work: the pragmatic use of Group Learning Contracts to ensure accountability and encourage positive dynamics
DESCRIPTION:Facilitator: Danielle Bentley; Assistant Professor\, Teaching Stream\, Division of Anatomy\, Temerty Faculty of MedicineThis session describes the use of collaborative group work for both in-class review assignments and two-stage collaborative testing. Imperative to the discussion is the design and implementation of Group Learning Contracts\, and the iterative process of revisiting these throughout the semester to ensure accountability\, encourage respect\, open communication and conflict resolution.There are several talking points extracted from the ACUE modules\, the majority of which align with the Active Learning ACUE modules.This session will include my operational approach to group allocation\, the creation of a Group Learning Contract template in Quercus for group members to simultaneously edit\, and integration of the contract into in-class activities. The session will conclude with direct feedback from the students illuminating their experiences.Instructors from all disciplines interested in integrating effective group work within their teaching will gain insights to build or enhance their approaches in this area.Part of CTSI’s ACUE Lunch and Learn series (https://teaching.utoronto.ca/acue-lunch-and-learn/)
