In-Person Session

Presentation Details

Accessibility is an imperative element of any course content design, but it is often an afterthought rather than at the forefront of course creation. It is much easier to design an accessible course than it is to retroactively make a course accessible. World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) uses the acronym POUR to guide users in their creation of accessible content -- Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, and Robust. This presentation will share an overview for creating digital course content to meet accessibility standards.
