Accessible Teaching Materials
All teaching materials (e.g. documents, online presentations) should conform with all WCAG 2.1 requirements by April 24, 2026:
- Online meetings and presentations follow similar accessibility guidelines for video content, but include some interactive requirements (e.g. audience participation). These are addressed in Online Meeting Etiquette.
- Online teaching materials follow similar accessible document guidelines.
- Online courses through Articulate (or TrainTraq) should follow the accessibility checklist for Storyline 360.
Additional information is included in the Quick Guides below and by Digital Learning and Academic Innovation (DLAI).
Accommodations Requests
It is important to ensure the audience has an opportunity to request accommodations before online events (e.g. meetings, conferences, events, classes) to create an inclusive and accessible environment:
- Students should contact Disability Services about accommodations needs for classroom, lab, and exam activities, both online and in-person.
- A notification should be provided in text format, e.g. "To request disability-related accommodations, please contact [email address] or call [phone number]." before each online event to have ample time to address accommodation needs.
