5 Core skills
The 5 Core skills have the power to dramatically improve the accessibility of your websites, documents, and presentations.
Web
When building a website, it is important to keep accessibility in mind so that people with disabilities get the information they need.
Documents
While making things accessible doesn’t have to be difficult, remediating inaccessible documents requires more time. By making content that is “born accessible,” you can preserve accessible features across mediums.
Online Meetings
Virtual events are great tools for accessibility; they remove barriers such as travel, mobility, and cost.
Online Courses
Designing an accessible course starts with the course design. Think about barriers before you create the course.
Canvas
The same best practices that make your documents and websites accessible work on Canvas, too. UDOIT and the Accessibility checker can help, but there’s no substitute for knowledge.
Procurement
Information Technology Services (ITS) and Procurement can help you work with vendors and contractors to get accessible results.
