Accessibility and Online Multimedia Content (NEW):
As information providers, we increasingly use video and audio to disseminate information. This poses challenges but also unique opportunities for reaching people with disabilities. Providing transcriptions, captions and audio descriptions with the media is not a simple task. But with a focus on inclusion and accessibility, we can produce content that is conducive to achieving our professional mission of lifelong learning while working to eliminate the disparities between persons with and without disabilities.
Learning Objectives:
1. Learn how to plan for, design, and create content that makes the process of creating transcripts, captions and audio descriptions more feasible.
2. Learn how to identify when accessible features or accessible alternatives are necessary
3. Explore tools we can use to create accessible content.
When: Thursday, May 16, 2-3:30 p.m.
Where: Marvin Library Room 014
Facilitator: Brenda Hazard

Academic Advising and Anger: Keeping Advisors and Students Safe (NEW):
Academic advising professionals know that there may be times when they are called upon to work with students who are frustrated or angry. The American College Health Assessment survey in 2017 reported that in a 12-month period 44% of college students surveyed said they had felt overwhelming anger. Not all students are able to express their concerns and frustrations openly or in a safe manner. Some may communicate hostility in a passive way; others may express themselves in a way that feels threatening to the advisor. How can advisors recognize warning signs, even if passive, that a student is angry? How can advisors help a student while defusing their frustration?
In May 2017, this team brought their presentation of “When Students are Sad and Stay Sad: Best Practices in Advising Students with Depression” to the NACADA Webinar audience. Enthusiastic participants described it as “the best webinar I have attended” and requested to hear more from this team. In response to popular demand, our Presenters return to share their ideas and expertise for strategies to help advisors stay safe when working with a student who is openly or passively angry. Video clips of advising sessions will be shown, and the Presenters will offer suggestions for recognizing angry students. They will provide strategies to calm a student and share possible plans to keep both advisor and student safe in the advising situation.
This webinar will assist viewers in developing Academic Advising Core Competencies from both the Informational and Relational components.
When: Tuesday, May 21, 2-3:30 p.m.
