Design your course for learners with a broad range of abilities and backgrounds, rather than designing your instruction for the average student. Chris Impey and Frank Timmes discuss accessibility of your online astronomy course. Topics include universal design, leveraging your local disability resource center, textbooks, presentations, psd, websites, videos, and internet bandwidth.
