Full course description
This course places digital accessibility at the center of effective online teaching, helping instructors design Canvas sites and multimedia content that all students can use from the very beginning. You’ll learn the core accessibility practices—such as applying semantic headings, structuring lists correctly, writing descriptive links, ensuring strong color contrast, adding accurate alternative text, and creating accessible tables—that form the foundation of an inclusive digital environment. The sprint also demonstrates how to embed these habits directly into Canvas using the Rich Content Editor, accessibility checker, and clear navigation structures, as well as how to extend accessible design to tools like Zoom, Panopto, and VoiceThread through captions and transcripts. Optional hands‑on activities give you the chance to revise real course materials, reinforcing proactive accessibility as part of your everyday course‑building workflow and empowering you to create online spaces where every learner can meaningfully participate.
