Biology lecturer Austin Craven and Library and Information Studies Associate Professor Heather Moorefield-Lang were named the 2022-2023 Accessibility Fellows.
ITS Learning Technology (ITS LT) partnered with University Teaching and Learning Commons (UTLC) to form this new accessibility fellowship program. They will support and coordinate digital accessibility initiatives for the campus during the 2022-2023 academic year.
UNCG has committed to improving campus digital accessibility, and this new fellowship is an opportunity to directly address this within the academic campus environment. They will provide educational opportunities to increase awareness, collaborate with accessibility campus partners, and develop resources that will improve online course accessibility.
Craven and Moorefield-Lang will work closely with Melanie Eley, UTLC’s associate director of Learning Innovations & Accessibility. Both fellows will dedicate approximately 30 percent of their time to their accessibility fellow role, while teaching in their departments.
