TCC Brown Bag: Accessible Content for STEM: Brightspace and PDF (November 11, 2026)

Please join the Teaching and Creativity Center for an exciting Brown Bag session presented by our Instructional Development Stipend (IDS) recipient, Burton Betchart, on November 11, 2026, from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. The session is titled Accessible Content for STEM: Brightspace and PDF.

LaTeX is a widely adopted standard for technical and scientific writing that can be used to create accessible electronic content through a variety of tools, including directly within Brightspace and as PDFs generated by modern LaTeX compilers.

This presentation will highlight the Teaching and Creativity Center's supported update of the in-house Spiral Physics textbooks, with a focus on creating accessible content through effective use of document structure, mathematical notation, columns, tables, and figures. Participants will also explore the implementation of tools and packages such as enumext, pgfplotstable, and TikZ to enhance accessibility and usability in STEM instructional materials.

• Presenter: Burton Betchart
• Time: 12 pm to 1 pm
• When: November 11, 2026
