Accessibility Topics and Guides
Making your content accessible is not always easy. The first step is education and the following topics are intended to help with that. These topics are quick reminders and where to find more resources. We strongly recommend that you attend one or more of the tutorials or classes for your format.
Making your content accessible will necessitate changing and developing new habits. Developing good habits is not always fun, but these habits will ensure inclusion for all our students. Some of these new habits can even improve your workflow and save time. Research has found that making your content accessible increases usability for everyone.1
