Reach All Your Students: Practical Tips for Teaching in Higher Ed
1 in 4 college students has a disability. That means every classroom is a learning space that requires a new approach to teaching. But how can instructors create learning environments that work for all students—whether in person, online, or hybrid?
More than half of students (55%) either took a form of academic or training classes online or as a hybrid, highlighting the need for flexible and inclusive teaching approaches.

Yet, students with disabilities often encounter barriers in these settings. The College Student National Report found that students with disabilities report inaccessible digital platforms, slow accommodation processes, and limited instructor flexibility as some of the biggest barriers to their success in online and hybrid learning environments.

Why This Matters
Many students face barriers in both physical and digital learning spaces—barriers that can prevent them from engaging fully in their education. Creating courses that anticipate and reduce these barriers—rather than responding to individual challenges after they arise—can lead to better academic outcomes for all students.
This webcast will give you the tools to proactively address those barriers and build a more inclusive classroom.
