Great attendance at the Syllabus Redesign Conference at Fresno State for Day 2.
Explaining student expectations and information literacy information went well.
Explaining issues of accessibility and making a syllabus accessible was more problematic. The video didn’t work until late and there were a number of questions/debates about the meaning of accessibility. We’re definitely going to have to do a better job informing faculty about the tools of accessibility this year. The low-key approach has resulted in a vocal group of faculty who’ve been mostly unaware of what’s being going on behind the scenes for the last 3-4 years (or more) on accessibility.
We have much more to do to provide more information to more faculty so they’re not so afraid of the idea of providing information in as many formats as possible without overwhelmingly increasing their workloads.

My guess is that most faculty will fall into the ‘vocal’ group once they know what is being asked of them
Yes, it was an interesting conversation. It’s an issue that we should continue to discuss in the upcoming months.
