• The Challenge
• Accessibility Issues
• Approach
• Failure to Success
Overview
• Graduate level, required Educational Statistics
course
• Independent study format, hybrid modality
• Student who is blind
• <2 months before the semester
• Problem with existing textbook
The Challenge
• Needs
• To meet the same objectives to the same level as
other students
• Equivalent, easily modified materials to support
learning
• Immediate access to content
• A non-visual equivalent for essential visuals
• Hybrid Course
• In-person only once per month
Accessibility
Issues
OpenStax Statistics book by
Barbara Illowsky and Susan
Dean from De Anza College
Starting Text
Textbook Features
Challenges
• Low level for class
• Not education specific
• Missing some topics
• No use of SPSS
• No data files
• Highly visual
Benefits
• Available in multiple formats
• Aligns to low level objectives
• Includes many examples
• Good accessibility to start
• Creative Commons license
• Additional materials exist
• Modification of materials
• Multiple digital formats
• Incorporating media
• Identifying critical visuals
• Modification across the senses
• Testing
• NVDA
• Hands-on
Before the
class
• Canvas pages
• PDF with Table of Contents
• MS Word document with
Table of Contents
Digital
Materials
• Sample problems
• YouTube videos
• Braille*
• Tactile materials
Other
Materials
• Why not Braille?
• Converting OER to other
senses
• Good approaches
• Challenges
Making OER
Tactile
One Sample T-test scenario
The following scenario is based on a real scenario,
but may deviate from real values.
A group training guide dogs for individuals who
are blind is worried about the working life of their
collies. Typically, the dogs they train average 80
months of working life. They gather a random
sample of 18 collies to compare to the rest of the
dogs.
The group runs a one-sample t-test in SPSS. The
next questions are based on this scenario.
Including
relevant, real
world
scenarios
• At start
• Technically “fully” accessible
• Had too many choices
• Not enough real data
• Changes
• Made actually accessible
• Streamlined options
• Included more relevant, open data sets and
external websites
From Failure
to Success
• From Universal Design to Human-Centered
Design
• Flexibility and adaptability
• Failure will occur
• Embrace it
• Ease of including student research interests
• Students adding to the OER

How Open Educational Practices
support Universal Design
Universal Design & Equity in Learning
Provide multiple means of representation: give learners
various ways of acquiring information and knowledge (text,
video, audio)
Provide multiple means of action and expression: provide
learners alternatives for demonstrating what they know
(essay, diagram, table, outline)
Provide multiple means of engagement: tap into learners'
interests, challenge them appropriately, and motivate them
to learn. (authentic, intrinsic/extrinsic motivation)

1. Helicase unwinds DNA strands
2. Topoisomerase prevents supercoiling
3. SSBP prevent reattachment
4. RNA primase adds RNA primer
5. …
The enzyme used for this process is DNA polymerase.
(“poly” means many “mer” means pieces and “ase” tells
me this is an enzyme). So, the name tells me this is an
enzyme (“ase”) that binds many (“poly”) pieces (“mer”)
of DNA to each other. There are a number of other
enzymes involved in this process as well (as you can see
below). Some enzymes open the DNA strand, others
copy the strand, and others fill in any gaps.
