Intro to accessibility

Is everything in your online course accessible to all types of students? If your answer is "no", "I don't know", or "what do you mean by 'accessible'," this session is for you. You'll learn what makes documents and recordings "accessible". You'll find out why you want to make your materials accessible, even if you don't have students with disability accommodations. We'll then explore the tools to help you get your files in shape, and wrap up by demonstrating easier fixes you can do now in Canvas and Word.
