In Episode Four of the Innovate and Educate podcast, we begin our exploration of administrator and faculty answers to the question: “What EdTech can faculty use to create accessible content and support student success?” Listen as Carolyn Corbran, Ph.D., MS.Ed., Director of the Department of Disability Support Services (DSS) talks about the varied ways that DSS and faculty support all students in accommodating varied learning needs. We will also hear from Nicole Paternoster, Ed.D., Director of the Academic Resource Center, as she explains how tutoring and academic coaching can support learners through universal design.
