The document discusses a panel on accessibility and universal design in online courses. It introduces the four panelists - Liz Simpson and Reed Scull from the University of Wyoming, and Catherine Kelley from Fairleigh Dickinson University and Howard Kramer from the University of Colorado. Kramer then discusses his work promoting universal design in university curriculum through ongoing classes and upcoming courses on accessibility in digital media and content management systems. He notes that universal design benefits all users by focusing on student-centered design and different learning styles, and that accessible design also aids accessibility compliance. The presentation concludes by listing some resources for considering accessibility in course design elements like PDFs, documents, video, websites and learning management systems.
