Creating Accessible Online Classrooms is a pedagogical technique that opens the online classroom to all learners, regardless of background or abilities. Designed specifically to assist students with disabilities, this Effective Practice benefits all students when they have the ability to interact on an equal playing field during a Web-based course. It does this through two methods: diversified instruction and accessible class content. The first method exposes students to historical materials through a variety of means--visual and auditory--that target different learning styles and offer creative ways to make the past come alive. The second method involves the creation of accessible PDF files that students with disabilities can use to hear written course materials.
