Implemented Fall 2022 for Spring 2023 data
Using PeopleSoft, MIS has created a form faculty can use once a semester to report their course materials. This data will be shared to the bookstore for purchases, improve the accessibility work done by the Disability Services Center and create an enrollment report for open textbook use. Students will see the listed course materials during registration. Rather than report to each entity, faculty will be able to report once.
Each semester Disability Services Center convert and adapt teaching materials for students with disabilities to meet individual accessibility needs. Some processes, including converting to specific types of braille, need to be done well in advance of the start of the semester. Because Disability Services has a list of students registered with them in PeopleSoft, this form will allow them to run the list against the teaching materials list, independently of faculty reporting to their office, to begin making materials accessible so that they are ready when they are needed in class.
