Accessible Instructional Materials: Lightning Session

In this fast-paced session, we'll showcase 8 strategies for enhancing the accessibility of your instructional materials stored in Canvas LMS.
Strategies include:

1. Creating an accessible course syllabus.
2. Sharing Library holdings with students using Reading List.
3. Cleaning up old/unused course files using TidyUP.
4. Leveraging remediation services from ITS.
5. Ensuring accessible video with Panopto.

Accessible instructional materials are key to enacting the University’s mission of promoting a culture of equity, diversity, inclusion, and belonging. By ensuring instructional materials are accessible, faculty help promote EDIB within their teaching and create an equitable learning environment that benefits all students.
