Designing with accessibility in mind will help all of our students be successful in a course, and employees be successful in their jobs. As an extra benefit, adding usability features gives ALL students the opportunity to learn more effectively, and increases job satisfaction for faculty and staff. Take this training on essential accessibility basic concepts that can be used in other authoring applications such as Canvas, Word, and Adobe Acrobat PDF.

Participants will learn how to determine the best format for delivering content (should it remain as a PDF, in a Word Doc, or a Canvas page?), explain how formatting impacts assistive technologies’ ability to access and interpret information, utilize the Rich Content Editor to properly format content pages, and provide accessible instructional video materials.
