This session is focused on ensuring all students and families can access your digital content in alignment with the new DOJ requirements and WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards. We will review the core "must-dos" for educators, including adding alt-text to images, utilizing proper heading structures, and ensuring high-contrast colors and fonts in your materials. During the session, we will provide live demonstrations on how to use the built-in Course Accessibility Tool to audit your Canvas pages and how to build ParentSquare templates that are fully accessible for all families. The remainder of the time is yours to apply these practices to your own digital resources with instructional technology specialists on hand to answer specific questions and provide personalized support. Please bring your laptop and a sample of your current digital materials to work on during this collaborative workshop.
