Greetings All, EAC and Instruction SIG have teamed up to provide a Community Hour session about online instruction accessibility and equity. Please join us on *Wednesday January 20, from 11am-12pm PST/ 12pm-1pm MST/ 1pm-2pm CST/ 2pm-3pm EST* As online instruction has become more normalized, it is important to assess accessibility and equity issues in our teaching and course planning. We will have a few guest moderators and hope to discuss these topics: - Basics of accessible pedagogy - Success and challenges of the past year, what have we learned? - Shareable tips and tricks and suggestions for new resources - Accessibility in archives, libraries, museums, and visual resources Our guest moderators will include: *Bridget Madden* is the Associate Director of the Visual Resources Center in the Department of Art History at the University of Chicago. Bridget is Chair of VRA’s Midwest Chapter, Implementation Team Co-chair for ARLIS/NA & VRAF’s Summer Educational Institute for Digital Stewardship of Visual Information (SEI), and has been leading VRA’s new Instruction SIG. *Berit Ness* is the Assistant Curator of Academic Initiatives at the Smart Museum, University of Chicago's campus art museum.

She is a thoughtful educator and curator whose recent exhibition Take Care was taught in-person and remotely in several courses this fall. *Anna Boutin-Cooper* is the Research & Visual Arts Librarian at Franklin & Marshall College in Lancaster, PA.
