Over the last little while, several of the items I’ve sent out related to Canvas have focused on accessibility. For example, two of the webinars that are coming up in August focus on accessibility. There was the self-paced course created by Debbie Millican at TUN on Designing Online Courses for Accessibility that is available for faculty to complete (and you can see the thoughts of one of the TCU faculty that complete the course here). Today I’d like to share with you two additional resources hat have come across my electronic desk related to accessibility that may be of use to you.
The first is about a report from Blackboard that is largely descriptive of the issue, with some useful tips and examples throughout. Note that you don’t have to follow the link to download the report it mentions, as I have attached it to this message. The second is a short online article that provides a good overview of the legal requirements around accessibility in the United States.
As always, if you have any questions about any of these issues, please let Jim or myself know.
