oxidative stress in in vitro models of Parkinson’s disease. During her prior graduate and postdoctoral work in neurodegeneration, April mentored several undergraduate, graduate, and clinical researchers and developed new methods for imaging and tracking mitochondria from living zebrafish neurons. In her work for the EERC and Pitt-CIRTL, April Dukes collaborates on educational research projects and facilitates professional development (PD) on instructional and mentoring best practices for current and future STEM faculty. As an adjunct instructor in the Department of Neuroscience at the Univer- sity of Pittsburgh since 2009 and an instructor for CIRTL Network and Pitt-CIRTL local programming since 2016, April is

Educational Resources (OER). The ACE curriculum includes anintroduction to accessibility, best practices for designing various types of resources, and learningactivities that help participants begin using their new skills. As a STEM institution, the courseheavily focuses on accessibility related issues in STEM disciplines, such as mathematicalequations, tables, graphs, and diagrams. This paper discusses the development of the ACE coursecurriculum and lessons learned while supporting accessible OER development in STEMdisciplines. The paper concludes with areas for future development of the course, includingexpansion of STEM related content and incorporation of participant feedback to continueimproving the course.IntroductionMines has been funded by
