IU accessibility training
Table of contents
Overview
The content and materials you create must be accessible and usable to allow everyone access to information and resources. The overarching goals should be to create digital content that is:
- Equally integrated (provided at the same time and not separate)
- Equally effective (provides equal opportunity or outcome)
- Substantially equivalent ease of use (should not be more difficult)
Making accessible content and materials requires specific skills and a new way of thinking. The training resources on this page will help you develop those skills, whether you are a beginner just learning about accessibility or are looking to learn more about inclusive design, web accessibility, accessible course materials, or document accessibility.
