Rather than treating accessibility as a one-time task, this course approaches it as part of everyday design and communication across campus.

Browse the Accessibility Guides by topic for focused, stand-alone help, or take the full course to build your understanding across Units 1–6. You can switch paths at any time.

What You’ll Find

a scenic path The guides and course units use a consistent rhythm so you can focus on the ideas rather than the format.

Read or watch short content that introduces a concept such as structure, captions, plain language, or visual design.
Look at real examples, including common problems and effective design choices.
Practice noticing access barriers and thinking through realistic responses.
Apply ideas to your own context, whether that’s teaching, student support, program coordination, or communication.

How the Course Is Built

construction rebar The course itself models the design practices we’re talking about. Pages are structured, consistent, and designed to be usable across devices, themes, and assistive technologies.

Clear headings and predictable layouts
Minimal manual styling
DesignPLUS components instead of custom formatting
Room to add or revise content without rebuilding pages

Optional Practice

This public course does not include required discussions, assignments, grades, or submissions. The examples and quick checks are available for self-paced learning.

If you want to apply what you learn, choose one area—such as a Canvas page, document, video, workflow, or communication practice—and make one concrete improvement.

The goal is not perfection. It is to practice thoughtful, informed design decisions that you can continue using in your work.

Connection

Wherever you begin, focus less on “getting everything right” and more on noticing. This course is about building awareness, confidence, and habits that support access over time.
