This comprehensive library showcases my expertise in technical communication and information architecture, demonstrating the ability to transform complex software functionality into clear, WCAG-compliant documentation for faculty and staff. These guides serve as essential, scalable institutional support across all critical platforms, including the Canvas and Blackboard LMS, Articulate Storyline, Microsoft Office 365, Google Workspace, and specialized accessibility tools like Grackle Suite. By providing accessible, step-by-step documentation, I ensure continuous operational fluency and uphold institutional standards for equity and quality assurance.
Co-Developed three checklists to assist faculty in the development of digitally accessible materials.
The accessibility guides were developed to support conference presentations and facilitate faculty understanding of difficult concepts. This also includes a series of Moment of Use documents to help faculty as they are developing course materials.
