SUMMARY:Open Education Show and Tell (OpenLab at City Tech)
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, March 5\, 2026\, 10am-11am US Eastern\, the OpenLab team is hosting an open education show and tell session via Zoom. Join us to share something you’ve done with\, on\, or about the OpenLab or another open educational platform. \nThis session is open to all as part of Open Education Week\, an international event organized every year by Open Education Global that brings people from around the world together to celebrate and share their work in open education. \nDrop in at any point to show and tell\, learn a few things\, or just join us to celebrate our shared accomplishments. \nCan’t make it? Share your work in the comments on this post to keep the showing & telling happening beyond Thursday’s session. \nThe OpenLab at City Tech is our college’s open platform for open education\, collaboration\, and community. It won an Open Education Award for Excellence from OEGlobal last year. Interested in starting an OpenLab at your institution? Check out the CBOX OpenLab Community Hub\, where you can learn about CBOX OpenLab\, freely-available open source software that powers OpenLabs at CUNY\, SUNY\, and beyond.  \nPhoto credit: Free to use Photo by user Naushil Skyhawk Asia from Pexels.

SUMMARY:Designing With\, Not Around\, Disabled Learners: A Screen-Reader Demo Experience
DESCRIPTION:This session from Equity Unbound will demonstrate why screen-reader access is important when designing learning materials\, especially Open Educational Resources. Have you ever wanted to know how people who are visually impaired or totally blind access your content? Come to this session and I\, a visually impaired screen-reader user and an accessibility expert myself\, will demonstrate for you the experience of a blind person navigating websites and digital materials. \nWe will begin with a TRIZ Liberating Structures activity in which participants will intentionally design the worst possible experience for someone using a screen reader. As we name common mistakes and exclusionary practices first\, we will surface the barriers that disabled users encounter every day. \nThrough screen-reader demonstrations on JAWS\, NVDA\, and Voiceover\, participants will experience how everyday design choices shape who can participate fully in learning spaces and who is required to work harder to feel “included” because the design was not made accessible from the beginning. Participants will see concrete examples of inaccessible practices\, such as poorly structured documents\, missing alt text\, cluttered layouts\, and excessive emoji use\, and how these choices interfere with learning and participation. \nThe session will connect these examples to the four principles of accessibility: perceivable\, operable\, user-friendly\, and real. We will also discuss reasonable accommodations and why accessibility must be built into course design rather than added later. Throughout the session\, participants will be invited to reflect\, ask questions\, and rethink their own materials. By the end\, they will leave with practical strategies for creating learning spaces that are genuinely inclusive for screen reader users. \nRecording Now Available\n\nSee also the presentation slides  and an anonymized chat log from this session
