How to Build an Equitable and Accessible Classroom

Everyone deserves the opportunity to read and access information. Yet too many students are excluded from reading to learn, due to difficulty reading standard print. 
 
The purpose of this course is to provide information on how to create an equitable and accessible classroom by giving you: context for why diversity, accessibility, inclusion and equity are important to all students, teaching you how to create accessible materials for your students, and highlighting the accessibility features built into the devices you and your students use every day.  

The three modules in this course are be done at your own pace.

Module #1 - DEI + A - Diversity, Equity, Inclusion plus Accessibility 

Module #2 - Create your own accessible materials 

Module #3 - Built-in accessibility features

The estimated completion time for this course in its entirety is 1.5 hours. To receive a Certificate of Completion, you must view the content in all three modules, and submit all reflection activities and assignments.
