Title: Introductions
Course: Web Accessibility MOOC for Educators > Section: Get Started

Hello and Welcome!

Let's use this first discussion to introduce ourselves.  Reply to this post and tell us who you are, why you are interested in prior learning assessment, and what kind of experience you have with accessibility. ( are you in higher education (four-year university faculty, student advisor at a community college, etc; are you in primary or secondary education?).

This is also a great opportunity to start networking. You may find someone in the class who has a similar interest in accessibiltiy or who is beginning the process of introducing accessibility and univesal design to their industry or institution, just like you. It is always nice to have a "friend" in a virtual course to compare findings or ask for help.

Keep in mind that this short discussion is visible to everyone in the course so don't reveal anything you are uncomfortable revealing. The idea is to help establish a "persona" for yourself, which helps others in the course as they interact with you in the Discussions or emails.

Also, please remember that this is an open, safe forum for learning and growing together. Bullying, harassment, or any other forms of disrespect will harm this process and will not be tolerated.

Looking forward to hearing from you all!
