Example 4: Image used for ambiance (eye-candy)
I recommend erring on the side of providing brief descriptions. A low-vision user of a combination of a screen reader and screen magnifier may be curious about what the image is that's being ignored by the reader. Unlike Example 1, this is not "purely decorative." And even screen-reader users are divided in WebAIM's surveys about this point. Some users want a sense of the page design.

A <figure> creates a semantic association with its contained <figcaption>, which may provide a summary of or additional information about the figure and/or relate the figure back to the containing document. However, the <img> still needs alt text—and to prevent redundancy, this information should not be conveyed via the <figcaption> .

Generic AI models are trained on large datasets, meaning they reproduce that which is more common rather than that which is optimal. In practice, this means that are at risk of recommending and reproducing outdated & debunked theories, e.g. learning styles.
This has been my general concern with Gen AI and Ed: there's a lot of ed school myths being repeated ad nauseum.

Consider two contrasting scenarios: A student at a well-resourced nonprofit university might access state-of-the-art learning platforms, comprehensive support services, and extensive engagement opportunities. Meanwhile, a student at an under-resourced institution might face outdated technology, limited academic support, and minimal engagement options.

If you are manually assigning learners to groups, each learner must open a Bongo page while logged into their individual account before you assign them into groups. Learners who have not yet accessed Bongo will not appear in the lists described below for group assignment. Once students see the Bongo interface (e.g. their activity or a list of activities), then no further action is required on their part; they are now ready for group assignment.

Group students weekly in order to collaborate and post several questions. Reassign these groups weekly to allow interactions with other students.
Little opportunity to build group dynamics. Questionable advice. In a seven-week course, at most I would recommend one, very explicit reorganization of groups to accommodate the formation of group dynamics. There's almost no such thing as switching groups week-to-week. It would be better just to have class discussions since group discussions, switching week to week, would be the same as class discussions only with an unnecessary limitation on who can respond.

While Universal Design is about creating a common design that works for everyone, we have the freedom to create a design system that can adapt, morph, or stretch to address each design need presented by each individual.
In the digital context of Inclusive Design, the focus does not have to be on a common design as with Universal Design but a system that can adapt to an individual.

Leave links live if the work is to be published or read online.
Why would one "leave" a link live? This statement assumes the link is live by default. A fully justified URL violates WCAG SC 2.4.4 (https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Understanding/link-purpose-in-context.html). DOI links, as URLs, should be unlinked or violate another, likely more important, Web standard.

Labaree only briefly mentions Dewey
This statement seems to be the main motivation for the post: insufficient loyalty to the dear leader. It's probably meant as an insult, rather than a statement of fact.
-
We must look at the record ourselves, with fresh eyes, honestly discuss what it suggests about our options, and get out of the trap we’ve been stuck in.
Wut? Aside from the fact that the premise of this post starts with the assumption that Dewey was always-already correct in every pronouncement he made, but it actually doesn't follow through except for some bromide at the end that says that Dewey was always-already correct. Literally, the field of education's fealty to Dewey makes it an embarrassment, also described by Labaree.

Most Ed School profs are so incurious that expect few would ever even bother to read this article, so I'm not in the least surprised that none of them have commented on the introduction. Learning Styles are a painful myth so a "professor of pedagogy" should not assign an essay on them...but they will...because...read the first sentence above...or Labaree's book on Ed Schools for a much more generous account than I would provide.

According to Mayer (2009), the dual-channel assumption dictates that “humans possess separate channels for processing visual and auditory information” (p. 63). The first is the visual–pictorial channel, which processes images seen through the eyes (including words displayed on a screen). The other channel is the auditory–verbal channel, which processes spoken words.
This is a common misinterpretation of the evidence for dual-channel. All words, whether read or heard, are processed through the articulatory loop. Images (symbols) are processed through a separate channel.

Black text on a white background is the default for web content, but this combination can feel stark and fatiguing, especially for long sections of text. Too much contrast may introduce halos or echos of text characters which can impact readability, especially for some with dyslexia. While WCAG does not have a maximum contrast threshold, you may want to style text with slightly lower contrast. This page, for example, uses a very dark grey body text color on white for slightly reduced contrast.

If institutions are required to caption all video content
False problem. Institutions should have a method for meeting accommodation requests, a reactive method which immediately prioritizes some videos for captioning. Captioning ALL videos manually is a "nice to have" after automated captions. It's always nice to have a proactive approach but not always possible.
-
Who will create accurate closed-captioning and transcripts for all recorded lectures and videos?
In Spring of 2023, I captioned to complete complete films using MS Stream with 97%-100% accuracy, so AI is already taking care of this. Once Google releases Bard more on YouTube, I imagine their captions will become equally accurate.

given the continuing lack of compliance for many tools
Keeps mentioning with specifying what tools. PowerPoint is a presentation software and can be made quite accessible. Rapid-authoring software like Captivate or Storyline is more challenging to make accessible. They're positioning themselves as authorities but a lot of the "continuing lack of compliance" may be instructor ignorance, not the software itself.

So, what are the positive implications, according to Caren?AI can empower students by, says Caren, putting “students in the role of giving feedback, rather than always being on the receiving end. This gives students new perspectives on how to evaluate their own writing.”AI can support the entire learning journey. Caren states, “For more advanced writers, generative AI can remove much of the repetitive mechanics of writing. This allows seasoned writers to focus on the bigger picture and higher level thinking.”AI can uphold feedback loops at scale. “For teachers,” shares Caren, “these Large Language Models have the potential to massively scale summarization and feedback. This results in teachers spending more time giving feedback on high level concepts, and possibly even improving grading consistency and fairness.”

Top three tips for addressing false positives:Know before you go—make sure you consider the possibility of a false positive upfront and have a plan for what your process and approach will be for determining the outcome. Even better, communicate that to students so that you have a shared set of expectations. Assume positive intent—in this space of so much that is new and unknown, give students the strong benefit of the doubt. If the evidence is unclear, assume students will act with integrity. Be open and honest—it is important to acknowledge that there may be false positives upfront, so both the instructor and the student should be prepared to have an open and honest dialogue. If you don’t acknowledge that a false positive may occur, it will lead to a far more defensive and confrontational interaction that could ultimately damage relationships with students.
Three tips for addressing potential false positives.
-
We’d like to emphasize that Turnitin does not make a determination of misconduct even in the space of text similarity; rather, we provide data for educators to make an informed decision based on their academic and institutional policies. The same is true for our AI writing detection—given that our false positive rate is not zero, you as the instructor will need to apply your professional judgment, knowledge of your students, and the specific context surrounding the assignment.
Important disclaimer to remind people of constantly. Turnitin does not make a determination of misconduct.

Stop using multiple choice examinations. They are not inclusive, they put some learners at an advantage over others, and they are generally not effective at enabling sustained learning or the application of learning. While low cost and efficient for large classes, multiple choice exams are unreliable because students easily find ways to cheat. There are better and more effective ways to assess learning — and they cause less anxiety.
I read the title of the post and guessed this would be one of the things. First one. Almost every statement seems questionable.

For me, bravery has meant exploration; it has encouraged me to think less about fidelity to particular methodologies and frameworks and more about the messy spaces of interaction.
I wish I could be persuaded by heartfelt reflections on one's pedagogy, but I'm not really. After discovering the "Open Pedagogy, UDL and Appreciative Inquiry" all promote what the author basically wants, it apears to affirm what the author believes. Many students may resist the "messy spaces of interaction" because, for one reason, well, they are messy. Are they some victims of a de-humanized system that forces them not to appreciate interaction? Sure. Are they also validly wanting transactional value for their monetary investment? In the current system, yes. Do you teach for the way the world is or they way you want it to be? That is a very basic question. In my Teaching Perspectives Inventory, I score very low on social reform and also not very high on nurturing. I accept that and seek ways that mitigate that. My TPI has nothing to do with my political views, by the way. But if someone is so committed to social reforms that they are more interested in forcing their beliefs about "critical pedagogy" upon their students rather than let it extend to "particular methodologies and frameworks," are they really being brave? Or are they experiencing an echo chambre where their beliefs about teaching constantly are reflected back to them? I already said that I wish I could be persuaded by an article like this but I can't. I feel the Venn Diagram of spaces to be covered by content, interaction, and "critical pedagogies" are a lot slimmer than what is expressed in this post. Focus less on critique and more on ways that make things THAT work based on our knowledge of cognition. That would seem to step around issues of student resistance and one's own ideology as much as possible.

DVDs are a great way to explain SCORM. When you buy a new movie on DVD you don’t need to check to see if it works with your brand of DVD player, right? A regular DVD will play on a Toshiba the same as it would on a Panasonic. That’s because DVD movies are produced using a set of standards. Without them, manufacturers would need to make differently formatted DVDs for each brand of DVD player. The SCORM standard makes sure that all e-learning content and LMSs can work with each other, just like the DVD standard.
Comparing SCORM to DVDs. Now some DVDs have geographical locks based on what country you are in and other locks which makes the DVD analogy a bit more like the SCORM analogy.

Provide Multiple Means of Engagement
All sensory inputs are first processed through the reptilian brain via the amygdala, so I doubt the affective networks are processed anywhere near the frontal lobe.

Decorative example
I don't understand how this "decorative example" doesn't violate best practices of separating content from style (forgetting behaviour, W3C Link). This, to me, is supplying content through CSS, or style, which is I see these pseudo-elements being ripe for abuse from an accessibility perspective. AFAIK, the content contained in pseudo-elements is read in some, but not all, screen readers. Using them for decorative additions seems fine as in the other examples, but the basic question remains: does adding ANY content via CSS violate what I thought was a core principle of Web development?

The online readiness survey tested in this study was representative of the majority of such screening surveys currently used across the U.S. However, neither the whole survey score, nor individual questions, nor various factors extracted using principal component factor analysis were significant predictors of differential online versus face-to-face successful course completion. This demonstrates that this particular online readiness survey, and likely others that are similar to it, do not have any predictive validity in identifying students who are at higher risk in the online environment. In particular, student characteristics commonly obtained from institutional research departments were better predictors of differential online versus face-to-face performance.
No predictive value for student online readiness surveys. Can dissuade for no reason.

A common misconception regarding “constructivist” theories of knowing (that existing knowledge is used to build new knowledge) is that teachers should never tell students anything directly but, instead, should always allow them to construct knowledge for themselves. This perspective confuses a theory of pedagogy (teaching) with a theory of knowing. Constructivists assume that all knowledge is constructed from previous knowledge, irrespective of how one is taught (e.g., Cobb, 1994) —even listening to a lecture involves active attempts to construct new knowledge.
Confusing a theory of pedagogy with a theory of knowing is a common misconception regarding "constructivist" theories. If you have this misconception, you may be at risk of demonstrating how prior knowledge can block or filter new information.

The torrent of open education resources currently available – including full MOOC courses, allows individuals or teachers to enhance and personalize their learning by using a variety of different content and learning activities.
MOOCs are not an open education resource in terms of their permissions and ability to remix and reuse, generally speaking.

So Robinson is not suggesting a revolutionary, entirely new approach. In fact he’s tapping a very rich, very old vein of thought.

Alan Baddeley, posits a split in working memory between a visuo-spatial sketchpad that processes symbolic information and a phonological loop that processes verbal information.
"[The phonological loop] is assumed to comprise two components, a phonological store that can hold acoustic and speech-based information for 1 to 2 seconds, coupled with an articulatory control process, somewhat analogous to inner speech. This system serves two functions; it can maintain material within the phonological store by subvocal repetition, and it can take visually presented material such as words or nameable pictures [emphasis added] and register them in the phonological store by subvocalization." A quote from Baddeley (1992) that Mayer/Moreno use as a reference but indicates that visually presented material is also processed through the phonological loop.

Paivio (1991) posits a split in working memory between verbal, including printed or spoken words, and non-verbal elements, including visual objects or environmental sounds and other sensorimotor impressions.
Paivio's conception thus supports "dual coding" theory, which is widely supported, and should not be confused with the dual channel theory.

Likewise, Penney (1989) observed a difference in short-term retention of information either seen or heard. Her separate-streams hypothesis, however, only identifies a difference between the modalities that lasts only seconds in a sensory store.
"In spite of the large and robust effects of presentation modality, found in short-term memory tasks, there was no evidence of any permanent effects on learning, and modality effects in long-term memory tasks were conspicuously absent" (Penney, 1989, p. 398)

all videos used in the classroom must be captioned
What is the source for this statement?
-
permission from the copyright holder is required in order to add captions to the video
This statement could include more nuance. Large publishers have successfully sued volunteer, third-party translators because that act was actively damaging their market for their release of translated versions. But a third-party caption available on an Intranet (of perhaps limited duration) for a public video that is used for accessibility purposes would most likely meet "fair use" or "fair dealing" criteria. To my knowledge, there has been no litigation under those protections in North America. Perhaps faculty should be cautioned about the lack of legal clarity about the issue, so the less risk-averse of them can consider the issue fully. Having said that, seeking permission would still be the recommended first step.

UDL Tips
Mixing explanations of UDL and accessibility often lead to a watered-down version of each. Here, there is little discussion of the philosophy behind UDL, just a definition and then a list of tools that are barely relevant to UDL. Even when a recommended practice is mentioned, such as supplying digital copies of presentations ahead of time, no purpose is given. So, if one knew nothing about UDL before reading this section, one would likely not come away with any clear idea as to what it is or think that it is about technology adoption. I think it could be dropped.

Accessible Classroom Presentations
The first presentation "Accessible APA presentation" has extra animations that do not work with a screen reader. The screen reader reads all the slide content, regardless of animations. Then, the user has to press "Enter" several times to get through the animations to the next slide.

This isn’t as simple as flipping a classroom or two.
This is an odd statement to make in an article about CBE. I don't see the relationship between flipping classes and CBE, so it makes me wonder if I am defining CBE properly. For me, CBE is measuring a series of competencies and focusing education on the areas that are lacking (an endeavor that I am generally skeptical about in terms of how well and how reliably those competencies are being measured and demonstrated). Conceptually, it is a difficult sentence to wrap my head around and had me trying to make sense of it in relation to the whole.

A benefit of recall.

An argument that we hear often from proponents of problem-based learning (or whatever "constructivist" method you prefer to call it). However, I don't recall any more facts from any projects I did as a youth than I do from "traditional" learning.

Let’s accept for the sake of argument that the parts of ACT-R I described in the last section accurately reflect the way we learn to perform all sorts of complex thought work. If so, then any learning process under that umbrella would have some common, recognizable moments, regardless of the content being learned. Here are a few:
This seems purposely vague. "Let's accept," "parts," "a few." The "few" recognizable moments appears to leave out the retrieval of accurate, pertinent, declarative knowledge to emphasize procedural knowledge.

Studies that compare feedback to not giving feedback generally find improvements with feedback—sometimes small but oftentimes quite substantial improvements (Butler, Karpicke, & Roediger (in press for 2008a, submitted for 2008b); Pashler, Cepeda, Wixted, & Rohrer, 2005; Brosvic, Epstein, Dihoff, & Cook, 2005; Kang, McDermott, & Roediger, 2007; Karraker, 1967; Kulhavy & Anderson, 1972; Kulhavy, Yekovich, & Dyer, 1976; Surber & Anderson, 1975; Sturges, 1978; Clariana, Ross, & Morrison, 1991; Webb, Stock, & McCarthy, 1994).

Usually, learning immediately after training is so unstable that it can be disrupted by subsequent new learning until after passive stabilization occurs hours later
Very interesting point about passive stabilization in memory formation.

You can bask in the glory of happy, engaged and achieving online students. This book explains and explores e-tivities, the name I give to frameworks for enabling active and participative online learning by individuals and groups. E-tivities are important for the online teaching and learning world because they deploy useful, well-rehearsed principles and pedagogies for learning as well as your choice of networked technologies.
This book is fine

Accepts the moral and ethical responsibility inherent in practice
I'm not clear on this wording. It's just seems like a complicated way of saying the other things that come after but are much more specific and clear. "Practice" used in this way also makes me think this statement has some form of pseudo-Marxist subtext about theory and praxis.
