AggieOpen Invited Speaker – From Free to Usable: The Accessibility Promise of OER
Tue March 3, 2026 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm GMT
Join us for this year’s AggieOpen Invited Speaker talk, From Free to Usable: The Accessibility Promise of OER! This session explores how digital accessibility, Universal Design for Learning, and upcoming ADA Title II requirements align with the broader mission of open education.
Featured speaker Katie Healey, founder of the A11Y Project and scholar of disability history, brings a disability justice framework to advancing inclusive practices in higher education. Through the University of California Office of the President, she supports more than 120 instructors across all 10 UC campuses in meeting digital accessibility standards. She also hosts the Disability Daily Podcast, highlighting key figures and moments in disability history.
During Open Education Week, Healey will share how accessible design strengthens the impact of OER and supports the diverse ways students engage with course content.
