When Learning Isn’t Accessible<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As instructors, we strive to build meaningful, engaging learning experiences. But what happens when a course isn\u2019t designed with accessibility in mind? For students with disabilities, small barriers can quickly become major roadblocks. Sometimes making it difficult or even impossible to participate fully. In the short video below, you\u2019ll hear from a student who became legally blind at 16 and shares how digital accessibility has allowed him to thrive not just in school, but in life. His story highlights an essential truth: when technology is accessible, disability becomes far less limiting. But when it\u2019s not, the burden shifts unfairly to the student to find workarounds or miss out. This is the human side of accessibility and it\u2019s why thoughtful design in our digital classrooms matters so deeply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
