Overview - The Fullness of Fall 🥙🍁☕

As the air turns crisp and the semester hits its stride, November arrives with both a flurry of grading and plenty to celebrate as we approach the holiday season. In case you missed it, we've welcomed Dr. Corey Carlson to our team!

This month’s newsletter is packed with resources and inspiration to support your teaching and course design. You’ll find a new decision tree for addressing accessibility issues in PDF documents, plus information on faculty access to Adobe Creative Cloud—a suite that includes Acrobat’s built-in accessibility checker, powerful image creation tools, and Adobe Firefly for AI-powered image generation.

We’re also sharing key takeaways from EDUCAUSE 2025, with links to explore emerging ideas and innovations in higher education. In addition, TeLS is inviting your group—whether a few colleagues or your entire department—to collaborate with us on accessibility strategies that maintain course quality and keep the student experience at the forefront.

And finally, don’t miss our two upcoming Zoom sessions on Perusall, where you’ll learn how to use this interactive reading platform to build connection and engagement in hybrid, online, and in-person courses.
