Workshops By Request | Accessibility and Universal Design for Learning
Departments are invited to schedule a CTLT "Workshop By Request" session to engage departmental faculty in topics of broad interest. Other topics are possible – just inquire and we likely can offer it from our existing repertoire or develop a custom one.
- Each session can be considered for a 50-minute time slot, although longer sessions are possible based on conversations with the facilitators.
- Scheduling is first come, first served based on CTLT staff availability.
- Requests should be submitted at least one quarter prior if at all possible.
For questions about a specific session or interest in a related topic, contact the CTLT facilitator directly. To request a workshop, click on this link to go to the Request Form page, or click on any title.
