Ready-to-copy prompts that help faculty use generative AI as an assistant when creating, reviewing, and improving accessible digital course content.
Use AI as an assistant, not an accessibility checker of record. AI can draft, organize, and flag likely barriers, but faculty should verify results in the original authoring tool and use built-in accessibility checkers and manual review where appropriate.
Choose the accessibility task you want help with.
Copy the ready-to-use prompt.
Upload or paste the material described in the instructions.
Review the AI response for accuracy and accessibility.
Make the final change in Canvas, Word, PowerPoint, Panopto, or the original authoring tool.
Use AI to draft concise, meaningful alternative text for images used in teaching and learning.
Use AI to identify structural problems in a table and propose a simpler version that works better with assistive technology.
Use AI to turn visually formatted content into a logical heading outline before you apply real heading styles in Word, PowerPoint, Canvas, or another authoring tool.
Use AI to replace raw URLs and vague phrases such as “click here” with link text that makes sense on its own.
