SUMMARY:Ann Gagné on Accessible Language Use for Educators
DESCRIPTION:Ann Gagné on Accessible Language Use for Educators\nDate: Monday\, March 23rd\, 2026 \nTime: 2:00-3:00pm (AT) / 1:00-2:00pm (ET) / 10:00-11:00am (PT) \nRegistration link \nSoTL Speaker Session Description: \nEach area and discipline has language and terminology understood by practitioners and professionals in that field. There is an assumption in our language use that everyone knows what we mean when we use words\, and that assumption can be exclusionary to English as additional language learners (EAL)\, students with accessibility supports\, and international students. This session will explore how to approach language use in an accessible manner in course design\, assignment design\, and teaching facilitation\, through reference to plain language writing\, accessibility tools\, and readability. It will provide tangible strategies and support knowledge translation in your field to different audiences. \nSoTL Speaker’s Bio: \nDr. Ann Gagné (she/her) is Senior Educational Developer\, Accessibility & Inclusion at Brock University. She has worked in higher education for over 22 years. Her work focuses on the need for accessible pedagogies through awareness of disabled lived experiences. She has facilitated workshops and keynotes on accessible pedagogy\, accessible event design\, accessible social media\, and trauma-aware UDL. In March 2023 she started her own podcast Accessagogy\, which talks about accessibility and pedagogy in short (under 15 minute) episodes.
