April 2025 - Update
The UMA Learning Experience Design Team has updated the Distance Course Development Grants website. Revisions to the course development checklist clarify expectations, with a key update emphasizing accessibility. Beginning in April 2025, all course content must meet accessibility requirements to complete the development process. The LXD team has resources to support faculty in meeting these expectations.
