Spring 2010: CAFE presents Proactive Design

Today, Feb. 26, 8:30-10 a.m.
UAA/APU Consortium Library, Room 306

Learn how to create course materials that are easier for students to use and learn how to get assistance in converting existing content. Examples that will be covered include the use of styles and templates in Word and PowerPoint as well as conversion to PDF and captioning of video. By making good design choices content will generally be:

smaller file size (supporting those with low bandwidth connections or small e-mail inboxes)
searchable (helping people find the information they need)
accessible to those using assistive or emerging technologies such as text to speech

Not only will this workshop cover the best practices you need to know in order to design content in ways that allow users flexibility and choice, a framework often referred to as universal design, but participants will also have the opportunity to get involved in a new project that provides interns to convert content identified by faculty and staff as potentially problematic.

It's proactive, supports student success and requires very little time or effort. Hope to see you there!
