Designing Courses for Sustainability and Accessibility (Summer 2026)

This is the third webinar in a three-part series on course design using the New Content Experience (NCE) in D2L Brightspace. The session focuses on how to design effective, future-ready courses using NCE, with an emphasis on sustainability and accessibility. Participants will learn how modular organization, consistent layouts, and streamlined navigation support long-term course maintenance.

The webinar will also highlight how accessibility and equity are supported through clarity, predictability, and thoughtful design. Participants will examine how NCE principles can serve as anchors for consistency across courses, instructors, and modalities. The session equips instructors to create courses that are easier to revise and more inclusive for diverse learners.
