On Global Accessibility Awareness Day, we recognize the importance of advancements in the accessibility of education technology tools and content, and the students who are able to be more successful because of it. In this article, RedShelf Product Director Lisa K. offers perspective on the Department of Justice’s final rule updating its regulations for Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which has specific requirements about how to ensure that web content and mobile apps are accessible to people with disabilities. #accessibility #coursematerials #a11y #highered #gaad

Inspo of the day! In recognition of Global Accessibility Awareness Day on Thursday, May 16, we invite you to listen to this keynote address by Haben Girma - the first deafblind person to graduate from Harvard Law School and author of Haben: The Deafblind Woman Who Conquered Harvard Law. In her speech at the recent Effordability Summit at University of Wisconsin-Stout, Haben discusses how tools and adaptations that make information available to all - a rarity even in academia - allow people like her to resist isolation and find the keys to connection. #accessibility #a11y #gaad #highered https://lnkd.in/gqbQqP92

Fresh from our leaders in the field: independent college book store and course materials managers should approach their vendor relationships with a discerning eye - prioritizing real collaboration and genuine flexibility over rhetoric. Do your crucial partnerships let you harness the transformative impact of accessible access programs like Inclusive Access to allow you commit further to student centricity in the long term? Some food for thought from Fernando Cuevas. #partnership #customercentric #flexibility #cascadingaccess

This article in by Shahrooz Moosavizadeh, faculty at HBCU Norfolk State University, addresses how the Biden administration's proposed changes to Inclusive Access (first introduced by the Obama administration in 2015) "...will severely undermine the administration’s very same goal of improving completion and reducing disparities in college outcomes, particularly for those from historically underrepresented backgrounds." For more on how you can take action or report your efforts to challenge the proposed rule changes, contact Tom Scotty. https://lnkd.in/gskUEFtb #affordableaccess #highered #hbcu #equityineducation

Affordable course materials access programs like Inclusive Access deliver remarkable and long-term savings to students. The IA program at RedShelf partner Minnesota State Colleges and Universities Bookstore Collaborative saved students $11.6 million across six two-year colleges in a seven-year span. Director Gary Westerland attributes success to partnership with student input, participating publishers, as well as System Office and CFO support. Course Materials Buyer Anthony Ross reports that IA delivers "easy access to course materials for all students from the very first day of class at the lowest prices anywhere." Way to go, Minnesota State! #coursematerials #affordableaccess #inclusiveaccess #costofeducation https://lnkd.in/gRdug9en
