Digital accessibility in education ensures that all students can interact with, understand, and navigate course materials. Even simple adjustments can make a significant difference in how students engage with your materials. While designed to provide equitable access to individuals with disabilities, these practices enhance usability, flexibility, and the overall learning experience for all students.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Below are some resources to help you get started. With awareness and preparation, you can design materials, assignments, and classroom experiences that support learners with diverse abilities, needs, and interests, fostering a classroom environment where all students can thrive!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This checklist can help you review course content to ensure that it complies with The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Ally checks the accessibility of content in your Brightspace courses, generates a report and accessibility score, and guides you through the process of remediating content to improve accessibility. While Ally is not able to detect all accessibility issues, it is a reasonable place to start reviewing existing course content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A CUNY SPS toolkit intended to help faculty and staff create online academic experiences that are accessible for all students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Note: This block and the blocks below are visible to admins only.
