“Mindset Over Mandate: Why Accessibility Starts with You”
from MAC Talks - Instructional Design Podcast Hosted by MCC Instructional Design
In this episode of MAC Talks, host Claire Wilkison teams up with special guests Claudette Jackson (Director of Accommodations & Title IX) and Katie Vise (Accommodations Coordinator) to dive into the real, raw, and sometimes hilarious truths about digital accessibility in higher education. They share powerful "aha" moments—from navigating accommodations for students with disabilities to personal reflections on burnout and self-advocacy. The crew unpacks the new DOJ ruling on accessibility, what it really means for faculty and students, and how institutions can support inclusive design without losing their creative spark. You'll hear: Personal stories that flip the script on how we see disability and accommodation Eye-opening insights on why font size and color contrast aren't just design details—they’re access points Straight talk on what the DOJ accessibility ruling actually changes (spoiler: it’s more mindset than monster) Tools, tips, and PD opportunities MCC is rolling out to support faculty—no Comic Sans allowed Whether you're an accessibility pro or just starting the journey, this episode brings a blend of wit, wisdom, and warm-hearted advocacy that reminds us: when we design for access, everyone wins.
