Tuesday is Fix Your Content Day! This is a GLOBAL contest created by Ally. We have Ally built right into EduCat that not only gives faculty indicators and ways to fix accessibility issues, but gives students alternative ways to interact with content. Some of that content could use some tweaks. Tuesday, November 18th has been designated as the day to set aside some time to do so. We will have a workshop in the CTL at 9am to get things started. We will have the workshop room open all day for faculty to come in and get assistance and/or a quiet place to work on fixes. We can even come to your group to assist with your fixes. Let us know how we can help you Fix Your Content!

Registration is now open for the 2025 UP-TLC! Please visit https://2025uptlc.sched.com/ Session selection will open at a later date.

Thanks to everyone who joined us to celebrate our 10th Birthday/Anniversary yesterday! If you weren't able to make it, it's too late to get cake and win fabulous prizes, but you can still view our birthday/anniversary slideshow.

We've enjoyed working with you for the past 10 years and look forward to the days and years ahead!

Again this year we will also have the mid-day "Teaching Fair," featuring exhibits from various campus groups, and (new this year) a chance to win fabulous prizes! We will keep you fueled through the day with coffee and donuts in the morning and a buffet-style lunch.
