Auspicious Accessibility and Chance Innovation

Abstract

Firstly, this essay is not about how I accomplished innovative accessibility in my courses. Creating an accessible course is an evolving process where, bit by bit, the course becomes better than it used to be. It is about the journey of trying, being creative, and challenging oneself to move away from the norm, arguably the very definition of innovation.  I embarked on incorporating UDI and UDL into all my courses. Although resources abound on techniques and examples for Universal Design of Instruction and Universal Design for Learning, instructors like me may soon realize that the process of building accessibility is one of creativity, perseverance, and trial and error.
