  • Making your courses more accessible – using Bb Ally and Accessibility tools in MS products, we can help you make every course more accessible to students of all abilities.
  • Assistance with integrating specific instructional technologies into your course, like VoiceThread and Zoom.
  • Assistance with credit hour analysis – Are your students complaining that your course is too much work or that you have too much busy work?
