Accessibility Edit-a-Thons for STEM Instructors: A Miniature Case Study

Dr. Rebecca Reck and Rob Bennett, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, IL, USA.

In the spring of 2026, the Grainger College of Engineering at the University of Illinois sponsored a short series of “Accessibility Edit-a-Thons.” These events, designed for walk-in attendance by instructors College-wide, were meant to help faculty meet peers with similar remediation needs, then providing them a supported environment to continue their accessibility-minded edits. In our presentation, we’ll report on the structure of these two-hour events and discuss how attendees might start their own Edit-a-Thons.
