With the explosion of online learning both as an educational initiative and in response to the pandemic, disability resource professionals have less and less personal contact with students. How do we use technology and professional strategies to develop meaningful relationships, identify accommodations that are effective in the online learning environment, and resolve problems that may emerge. From setting up Zoom lobbies to identifying questions that elicit important information, we’ll support you in ensuring that online students have experiences with your office as valuable as students sitting in the chair across from you.
