Funding Level: $5000
Abstract: This grant will support the development of TCM courses designed to enhance students’ knowledge and abilities in Content Management and Technical Editing as they prepare for complex professional roles in the knowledge economy. Designing these online courses with UDL and TILT principles will make them accessible to a range of diverse students. After the courses are designed, they will be assessed through multiple means for usability and educational effectiveness.
