We will discuss how the principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) can aid us in creating assessments that allow every student to demonstrate their learning. And we will hear from hear from \u003Cstrong\u003EAnne Jannarone\u003C\/strong\u003E, Assistant Dean and Director of the Office of Disability Services, about neurodivergent students at Georgia Tech and what resources are available to you.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EJoin us and learn first-hand about multiple means of assessment and the technologies that make this process possible. \u0026nbsp;Bring your laptop to explore examples during hands-on activities, or simply follow along with someone at your table. \u0026nbsp;Whether you\u0026rsquo;re teaching large diverse populations in the online OMS program or an array of students in a face-to-face course on campus, there are ways that both you and your students can benefit from multiple means of assessment. \u003Cstrong\u003EWe look forward to seeing you at the workshop!\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ELunch will be\u0026nbsp;provided.\u0026nbsp; Please \u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/ctl.gatech.edu\/content\/teaching-technology-spotlight-tools-facilitate-multiple-means-assessment\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003Eregister\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/ctl.gatech.edu\/tts\/wikipedia-teaching-tool\u0022\u003E \u003C\/a\u003Eto join us!\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Join us for this Teaching with Technology Workshop!"}],"uid":"27251","created_gmt":"2020-02-19 14:37:32","changed_gmt":"2020-02-19 14:38:42","author":"Chaohua Ou","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2020-03-05T11:30:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2020-03-05T13:00:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2020-03-05T13:00:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2020-03-05 16:30:00","gmt_time_end":"2020-03-05 18:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2020-03-05 18:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"1268","name":"Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL)"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"168674","name":"faculty-ctl"},{"id":"168628","name":"postdoc-ctl"},{"id":"69901","name":"Postdocs"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"},{"id":"26411","name":"Training\/Workshop"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"177814","name":"Postdoc"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EPlease let us know if you have any questions!\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EVincent Spezzo, \u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:vincent.spezzo@gatech.edu?subject=Teaching%20with%20Technology%20Workshop\u0022\u003Evincent.spezzo@gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nCenter for Teaching and Learning\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
