Welcome to the New Instructional Accessibility Guides and Resources Page!

Introduction

Instructional Accessibility is the process of intentionally creating educational content, that removes barriers preventing students from accessing content fully. This includes but is not limited to students with vision or hearing related disabilities, who use screen readers, where english isn’t their primary language, etc.

We have assembled an encompassing catalog of guides and resources to support faculty, instructors, and staff in creating accessible content. We appreciate your interest and willingness to assure educational content is accessible.
