Considering the Big Picture When Using Visuals in the Classroom

Event Information
Date: 
Wednesday, September 17, 2025 - 1:00pm

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. What if a learner can not see that picture?  How do they understand the idea?  What if the visual is a complex graphic or map?  How do learners know what they should be thinking about when they interpret the visual?  This workshop will help participants to view visuals as one component in the bigger puzzle of providing content to learners.  Strategies for helping blind and sighted learners navigate the visuals in your course will be presented, along with opportunities to apply those skills to your own course content during the workshop session.
