The Universal Design for Learning (UDL) Task Force is pleased to provide a self-paced Digital Accessibility Course for the campus community. Digital Accessibility is the practice of creating electronic materials that are usable by all individuals, regardless of disability status or the use of assistive technology. It is also an important step to promote inclusivity among our students, staff, and faculty. Digital Accessibility applies to any content that can be accessed through a browser or app. This includes but is not limited to web pages, electronic documents (Word, PDF, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.), electronic communications, and Canvas Course content.
The goal of Digital Accessibility is to meet the WCAG 2.1 AA technical standards and comply with Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act. When digital materials meet accessibility standards, they benefit everyone, not just individuals with disabilities.
After completing the course, participants will:
* Have an understanding of digital accessibility and the requirements of Title II
* Be able to recognize accessible and inaccessible elements of digital content
* Have the tools to adjust content for accessibility, and/or know who to contact for help
* Be able to examine their own content for accessibility and make adjustments if needed
This course is available to anyone who would like to learn more about digital accessibility. If you have any questions, please contact Meghanne Freivald, Chris Gause, or Samantha Dannick.
