10 + 10 Pop-Up Series: Headers, Images, and GenAI. Creating Accessible Content for All Learners
Tue 4/28 • 10AM - 10:20AM PDT
When creating digital content—especially materials for your Bruin Learn site—you have an opportunity to improve engagement and learning for all students, not just those using assistive technologies like screen readers. In this session, we’ll cover how to effectively use heading structures and write meaningful alternative text for images. We'll also discuss how GenAI can support (but not replace!) your workflow, with tips on reviewing AI-generated content for accuracy and bias.
Presenter: Karen Sobelman, Associate Instructional Designer, Instructional Design and Media Production

Each academic quarter, the UCLA Teaching and Learning Center (TLC) hosts a weekly series of 10+10 Pop-Up sessions on Zoom. These brief, 10-minute presentations focus on specific topics related to course design, teaching, learning, and assessment, and are led by instructional designers and developers from TLC and campus partners. The “+10” refers to an optional 10-minute discussion following each presentation, where participants can ask questions and share insights. These sessions are open to all UCLA instructors—including faculty, lecturers, instructors of record, graduate student instructors, and postdoctoral scholars.
