2. Efficacy of Low-Tech Solutions
While high-tech can resolve many problems, we should not underestimate low-tech solutions

3. Availability of Course Content
Being able to access and study the course content in advance for the class helps all students to be more prepared for upcoming topics.

4. Explaining Complex Graphics and Charts
Oral explanation of complicated graphics and charts
Using cards and other objects to explain complex concepts
Artificial Intelligence Class at OSU (a personal story)
All students benefited from describing the complicated graphics

5. Raised Graphics
Extremely useful for offline learning and as a point of reference
Blind users can be highly visual learners

6. Everyone Onboard
Students must do their best to keep up with the class and participate in the classroom conversations/discussions
Instructors must try to ensure that all students are on board and can follow the discussion
Communicating on private channels with students who we feel are not keeping up

7. In-person and Virtual Meetings
Provide training on required and optional applications for the course to all students
Example: Dreamweaver training for IADP students

8. Specialized Training
Training users with disabilities in tools and applications to be used in course settings
E.g. LMS, Audio Response, Lecture Capture, etc.
Training users with disabilities in assistive technology used by users to ensure that they are utilizing their ATs effectively
Find potential barriers and provide the necessary accommodations
Example: Blackboard gradebook and reading instructor’s comments on submitted assignments
