The 2025 Celebrating Teaching and Learning Conference (CTL) on May 21st is rapidly approaching! Hosted by Center for the Advancement of Teaching, Learning, Scholarship, and Technology* (CATLST) and Institutional Research, Assessment, and Planning (IRAP), the conference will be in-person at the University Center from 8:30am to 4:30pm. Open to all UW-Whitewater faculty and staff, the (free!) conference aims to cultivate a collaborative space for sharing ideas, methods, and innovations that enrich classroom experiences and support student success. 

This year’s keynote presentation will be a collaboration between CATLST and the Center for Students with Disabilities (CSD). About the keynote: 

Boldly Empowering All: A UWW Student-Instructor Dialogue on Navigating the Digital Accessibility Frontier

Digital accessibility ensures that all individuals can successfully navigate, understand, and interact with digital content. With new federal laws shaping accessibility standards, it’s more important than ever to our core campus mission that we create and support fully inclusive online experiences. Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act requires all digital course materials (Canvas pages, quizzes, linked websites, embedded content, and attached documents) meet Digital Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1) by April 24, 2026. Join us for an engaging keynote where UWW students and instructors share their experiences with the challenges and opportunities of digital accessibility in their learning environments. Hear real experiences, gain valuable insights, and learn actionable strategies to implement digital accessibility into your own digital content moving forward.

We hope to see you there! Questions can be directed to CATLST.

*CATLST was formed by the merger of the Learning Technology Center (LTC) and LEARN Center.
