Digital accessibility is a collective responsibility that enhances the educational experience for all. The ODA coordinates efforts to meet this responsibility in our distributed accountability environment, with guidance from the following accessibility groups and partners in the Office for Equity and Diversity (OED) and the Office for Information Technology (OIT).
Digital accessibility is the practice of designing, creating, and sharing digital content so it can be used by everyone—including people with disabilities—in an equitable manner. Following digital accessibility best practices and adhering to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1 AA) helps to ensure that everyone, including disabled individuals, have equal access to webpages, software, mobile applications, documents, videos, and other electronic resources. Improving accessibility improves the user experience for everyone.
