Join the ASCCC Online Education Committee for a 60-minute interactive webinar on Universal Design in Online Learning Environments. This webinar will begin with a review of the basic tenants of Universal Design in online courses, followed by a short planning session for faculty practitioners to consider in the design of their online courses, and then conclude with a group discussion where faculty practitioners can ask questions, express challenges, and share strategies for success. 

Note: This event has been cancelled. 

Due to low enrollment for the Accreditation, the ASCCC had to make the decision to cancel the event at this time. We wanted to respect the time of all participants, attendees and presenters alike, and did not feel that we would be able to do so with the enrollment numbers we had.

The ASCCC will focus on updating the accreditation paper to address the recently assigned resolution and will continue the conversation at a future event. Additional information will come out in the form of a Rostrum article in April, as well as updates to the paper on Effective Practices in Accreditation. 

Recognizing the Full Humanity of Our Asian and Pacific Islander Student Communities in the California Community Colleges 

Date: Tuesday, February 7th, 2023

Time: 12:30 pm - 2:00 pm

Students who identify as Asian and Pacific Islander make up around 13% of California Community College students. Asian and Pacific Islanders are the fastest-growing ethnic group in California since 2011, growing an additional 25% statewide. After the pandemic, Asian and Pacific Islanders also experienced an explosive increase in racially motivated incidents. These increases should motivate faculty to look at what faculty can do on campus to support our Asian and Pacific Islander student communities. During this webinar, we will discuss some issues currently facing Asian and Pacific Islander students, and pedagogical and student services strategies and supports that faculty can take back to campus.

This workshop will showcase the ADAPT and LibreStudio platforms.
