Equitable Access to Educational Technology at Camosun

When designing and delivering courses, we want to ensure that all students at Camosun have access to the educational technologies we use, such as D2L Brightspace, Zoom, Kaltura, Ally, and Readspeaker. However, since these tools are web-based, some students may encounter challenges in accessing sufficient bandwidth and the necessary technology to fully utilize them. We encourage you to access the Accessibility page to learn about UDL and WCAG Accessibility Guidelines.

As you plan for your course delivery, it’s important to consider how your students will access the online content. Some students may only have a mobile device instead of a laptop or desktop computer, while others might share a single device within their household or have unreliable internet access.

To ensure an inclusive and seamless learning experience, we recommend connecting with an instructional designer in eLearning. An instructional designer can help you explore the best technology and design options for your course. Additionally, we suggest confidentially surveying your students through email or the D2L survey tool to assess their access to devices and the internet. This information will help us to assist you in making choices that support all your students.
