This two-week facilitated asynchronous course for instructors will provide all the information and tools necessary to make your courses accessible and inclusive to all students! In this course, you will explore the POUR framework (Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, and Robust) and apply the digital accessibility guidelines required under Title II of the ADA to the content you use every day. We’ll cover the foundations of accessibility, then dive into the particular accessibility requirements of a wide range of course materials, from documents to videos, with opportunities for you to work on your own course materials. Participants will leave the course with a deeper understanding of digital accessibility, the skills and knowledge needed to create and remediate digital content, and an accessibility action plan for updating their materials. Participants can expect to spend approximately five hours per week to complete the course.

Faculty who complete the Accessibility Asynchronous Course will receive the Digital Accessibility Micro-Credential.
 

Facilitators: Dani O'Brien, Accessible Pedagogy Specialist, CAT; Elizabeth White Vidarte, Online Learning Specialist, CAT

This workshop will be held asynchronously with activities in Canvas from January 5th to 12th.
