Meet Denise Maduli-Williams, your Online Accessibility Mentor
Hi all! I am a Professor of English and ELAC at Miramar College and have been a long-time passionate advocate for online education. My interest in accessibility and online accessibility specifically has grown over the past five years.
In Fall of 2023, I completed a sabbatical focused on graduate-level coursework in accessibility, disabilities, and UDL. In 2023-2023, I was a Stanford EPIC Community College Fellow, where my culminating project was an Online Toolkit for Creating Accessible Learning Environments with Universal Design for Learning and Online Accessibility Practices.
I am not an expert, but I am curious and determined to ensure equity, inclusion, and accessibility and to share what I learn with all of you.
Please reach out to Denise at dmaduliw@sdccd.edu for any online accessibility related questions, and visit the SDCCD Online Accessibility Mentors webpage to view a calendar of upcoming workshops.
