Want to create Canvas courses that look great and work for every learner? Learn to build accessible, visually engaging pages that support Universal Design for Learning (UDL) without needing to be a tech expert or designer using the  DesignPlus tool.
In this hands-on, teacher-friendly session, I’ll show you how to:

• Use DesignPlus to create clean, organized, and consistent layouts
  
• Add visual elements like banners and buttons to guide all types of learners
  
• Build accessible pages that support screen readers, keyboard navigation, and more
  
• Apply UDL principles to support student choice, engagement, and clarity
  

Whether you're just getting started or looking to polish your course, this session will help you design Canvas content that’s inclusive, engaging, and easy for students to navigate—because good design isn’t just about looks, it’s about learning for everyone.

This session will walk educators through the instructional decision-making process for students receiving special education services. We'll explore how to align instruction with IEP goals, understand the roles of various team members, and utilize data to support targeted interventions. Participants will gain clarity on how instructional adjustments are determined, how general education and special education staff collaborate, and how to ensure students receive access to grade-level content in meaningful and equitable ways.
