Promoting Information Access: Organization & Planning

Providing course organizers, summaries, and study groups helps students prepare for upcoming events.  Students rely on advance information to manage time, meet deadlines, or arrange for specific accommodations such as Braille, audio, or large print.

Tips

  • A preview of course activities and timelines can be part of the syllabus, provided on a separate hand-out, or posted on a web page.
  • Daily class agendas with reminders of assignments can be made available to students.
  • Encourage students to organize study groups; involve the TA when necessary.
