Structure of my Action Research
Example of strong contrast
Example of poor contrast
“If I had been thinking seriously about accessibility
versus just assuming things then I should have been more proactive but other things are easier for faculty to find that we think we are supposed to be doing like the fact that I never paid attention that
Adobe Pro can do a check to see if a document is accessible… There is stuff out there we just need to
know how to take advantage of it.-Faculty research participant in Business
Accessibility is important
“I am not intentionally ever trying to not make stuff accessible but you just don’t think about it. I think
we need to be educated on what it means to make course documents available and accessible.
-Faculty research participant
“Part of the reason we come here as teachers is because we want to contribute to accessibility in a wide notion, to the accessibility of education, to populations that don't often get it, to the accessibility of documents... I think it
[this research] speaks right to the heart.-Faculty research participant in Sociology
“I guess I never thought about it like that. I'm familiar with levels of headings from when I write articles which must be formatted according to a publication's expectations so I've thought about that before but not for syllabi. I never
considered that H1s and H2s would be important for syllabi.
