Phase 1 examined questions 1-3 and Phase 2 examined questions 4-5. The research questions were:1. What is the nature of the asynchronous K-12 technology accessibility professional development resources (e.g., format, size, platform) that are readily available online? 2. Which audience(s) do the professional development resources explicitly or tacitly target?3. What K-12 contexts do the professional development resources explicitly address?4. What K-12 technology accessibility information do the professional development resources contain?5. What pedagogical approaches and assumptions (i.e., Universal Design for learning, Case Based Learning, accessibility, prior knowledge) shaped the professional development resource?
