[Athen] Creating accessible math exams and handouts

[Deborah Armstrong via athen-list]

I've finally managed to convince our math department their handouts and exams should be accessible.  I can always get this material remediated, but we're a community college, and often an instructor will prepare a handout or exam the day of class. Curriculum tends to be more flexible in community college due to instructors first gauging the skill levels of the majority of students in a particular class section.
Anyway, now they finally "see the light" they want to have a training on how to make this material accessible.
I can serve up generalities. They can use AI to draft descriptions of charts and graphs. The Word equation editor is accessible. And learning LaTeX, even for a math-impaired person like me is pretty easy. And there are tons of packages to convert LaTeX to accessible formats, depending on a student's needs. And there's Scientific notebook, though I only know about its use with Duxbury. Only 1 per cent of my print-impaired students know Braille anyway and even a half a per cent know Nemeth.
And of course, APH just published a book on teaching math to blind and visually impaired K12 students, but that's not exactly what I need.
Anyway, I'm not qualified to do any sort of training to math instructors.
Can anyone recommend particular webinars or Youtube content? Remember this is not remediation: this is how to make their materials "born accessible".
