Accessibility for Clear Communication

Event Information
Date: 
Tuesday, October 13, 2026 - 12:15pm to 1:30pm

Students’ ability to do what we’re asking them to do depends upon clearly communicating our expectations. Designing syllabi and assignments with accessibility in mind enhances clarity, enabling all students to better engage in their learning, know what to do with it, and do it on time. In this workshop, participants will be introduced to core practices for accessibility in Word, PDF, and/or Canvas, and how artificial intelligence and Anthology Ally can support those efforts.

Penn State encourages persons with disabilities to participate in its programs and activities. If you anticipate needing any type of accommodation or have questions about the access provided, please contact the Schreyer Institute for Teaching Excellence at SITE@psu.edu or call 814-863-2599 at least 2 weeks prior to the start of the program to allow sufficient time to effectively meet your access needs.
