Why these workshops matter: your Blackboard ALLY score is a useful starting point, but with new accessibility rulings the goal is now full compliance with WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards. ALLY is helpful but not perfect, so these sessions will give you practical techniques for Word, PowerPoint, PDFs, Blackboard, and media to build accessibility into your workflow from the start. As courses evolve, faculty play a key role in maintaining accessibility, and partnering together ensures students consistently have equitable access to materials.
