What to Bring

Syllabus and instructional materials (electronic, media and paper) for at least one course to be taught in Fall 2008.

 

This workshop is offered by the Technology and Learning Program in collaboration with the Ensuring Access through Collaboration and Technology (EnACT) Grant and the Accessible Technology Initiative (ATI). State law and the Chancellor's Office require that all California State University instructional materials be accessible to all students, regardless of ability. The ATI Course Makeover Summer Camp workshop is a unique opportunity for faculty to become campus leaders in this effort while enhancing teaching and learning.
