Title: Accessibility Resources
Course: Canvas Course Template 2 > Section: Instructor Resource: Read Me First

Overview

This template has been designed to make course content more accessible for students. Importing templates into your course is a step toward creating more accessible educational content at the University of Oregon. Faculty should continue to review and adjust their course materials to ensure accessibility remains a priority. When using these templates, be sure to make the content you add accessible—this benefits all students.

The following resources will help you:

1. To learn how to make content accessible, take the Digital Content Accessibility Training. This training was adapted by a team of UO faculty and staff to support the creation of accessible digital content.
2. For a quick overview of digital accessibility basics, read the Basic Digital Content Accessibility page.
3. For details on how to make specific types of content accessible after you’ve taken the training, visit UO Digital Accessibility’s Guidelines page.
4. To save time in assessing Canvas page accessibility, check out the Pope Tech Accessibility Guide.
5. To get help finding a more accessible version of a reading consider: contacting your Subject Librarian or the Textbook Affordability team to explore eBook options, or request digitized print materials through Scan & Deliver (which will ensure scanned content is "real text").
6. To consult with someone about making instructional materials accessible, contact UO Online and TEP: we want to support you!
