The wait is over for the long awaited "Not" release conditions in the Brightspace Learning Environment (LE). With the January update to the LE, you are now able to set release conditions for situations where students have not done something. In this webinar we will consider effective uses of these release conditions in various LE tools to encourage student behavior that will increase their likelihood of success in the course.

Alt means alternative text. A look at how to write it, thinking about audience, content, context.
These slides are from the Accessibility Summit, 2014. Register for access to recorded sessions:
http://environmentsforhumans.com/2014/accessibility-summit
This presentation was provided by Caroline Desrosiers of Scribely, during the NISO hot topic virtual conference "Accessibility." The event was held on March 29, 2023.
Product development teams have people who focus on user experience, with responsibility for creating designs, content, and interaction that meet user expectations and provide enjoyable experiences. User experience practitioners know that making people successful is the best way to achieve product success. Some product development teams also have accessibility specialists who focus on making sure people with disabilities have access to designs, content, and interaction, but accessibility is typically a separate activity, in the engineering or QA phase. What if we joined these activities, such that UX included responsibility for the user experience for people with disabilities? And what if, as user experience designers, we welcome accessibility as a creative challenge?
In this workshop we cover universal design principles and design thinking activities to identify problems and explore creative and innovative solutions that benefit all users. We cover:
• Principles of Universal Design
• Design Thinking methodologies as applied to accessibility
• Accessible user experience principles and guidelines for creating good experiences for people with disabilities
• How to integrate responsibility for accessibility into product teams
• How to integrate practices to support accessibility into the product development lifecycle
Presented at WebVisions Barcelona on July 2, 2015: http://www.webvisionsevent.com
One of the simplest ways to make information more accessible is to add alternative text (alt text for short). It’s brief descriptions of images for users who can’t see them. But what to write? This is a deep dive into writing alt text that is usable and useful. You’ll learn how the right words can make images speak clearly.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
