Representatives of three OER publishing programs consider what the upcoming federal accessibility requirements mean for people who manage OER collections. While Abbey Elder provided nuts-and-bolts guidance in her 90-minute webinar, Making Accessible OER: Practical Strategies for Educators, this session will take a step back and look at big-picture strategies. Join the discussion to hear how program managers are thinking not only about compliance with the Title II ADA regulations, but also turning these requirements into opportunities to make our OER collections more accessible for all users.
