Alice Dieli
I have been serving as the Instructional Development Coordinator for American River College since 2014. I am passionate about exploring the use of technology to engage online students, and am an advocate for making the online educational environment accessible for all in the teaching and learning community. I believe technology provides exciting opportunities for online students and teachers to design and interact with their individual environment in ways that meet their needs. Can•Innovate is a wonderful chance for sharing what works in Canvas and learning from each other to promote our students’ success.

I have been an American River College educator for seventeen years working to support staff and students in the online teaching and learning process. I happily became the Faculty Universal Design for Learning Coordinator in 2017 and through training and one-on-one meetings, advocate for creating curriculum that includes Universal Design for Learning principles, excellent instructional design, and campus wide accessibility for online learning resources. I am also a Lead OEI Course Reviewer.
Hello, I would like more information on making math content accessible, thank you!
