Chico State was one of several campuses which participated in the federal EnACT (Ensuring Access Through Collaboration and Technology) Grant, administered by Sonoma State. A culminating project with EnACT was to give faculty an opportunity for a two-day intensive workshop on how to redesign a course with accessible technology and the Universal Design for Learning process to meet the goals of the Chancellor’s Office Accessible Technology Initiative. There was funding for a limited number of faculty to receive a stipend for this workshop held June 2008.
