This fall, The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences is offering a series of short, practical webinars in support of the ASU FRAME initiative. The goal is to help faculty and staff make our courses accessible for all students by spring 2026.
The webinars are intended to be a resource for all instructional personnel in The College. They will be led by instructional design-related staff and faculty from our college units. Each will run 30 to 45 minutes, followed by 15 minutes for questions.
Zoom link for all webinars: click here at the scheduled time (ASURITE login required). Recordings of the webinars will be posted here after each event.
