2.1 Introduction to Accessibility and Universal Design

Who is Responsible for Creating Accessible Courses?

In a nutshell, we all are. 

Instructors, Academic Technology and the Center for Accessible Resources collaborate and coordinate to:

• Assist faculty in developing universally designed courses and providing accessible content and/or resources
• Test the accessibility of software and web apps used in online courses.
Work together to identify and implement appropriate accommodations when barriers are encountered.
• Develop accessibility plans proactively when barriers are found.

In this section we'll take a deeper look at our responsibilities.
