Teaching with Accessibility

Beyond making digital content accessible, it is important to implement accessibility practices in teaching.

Use Inclusive Teaching Strategies

  • Classroom Activities: Use multiple means of representation, engagement, actions, and expressions in your classroom activities.
  • Classroom Barriers: Learn about online and face-to-face classroom barriers.
  • Course Materials: As you create or update course materials, identify and correct any that are improperly formatted, inconsistent, or disorganized.
  • Host Inclusive Face-to-Face Meetings: Plan ahead to help everyone feel welcome, understand what is presented, and participate.
  • Host Inclusive Online Meetings: Include complete meeting and accessibility information in invitations, use accessible technology, prepare to provide accommodations, assign an accessibility advocate, and send accessible follow up materials.
  • Teaching with Access & Inclusion (TAI): Foundational information for teaching with access and inclusion.
  • Teaching Resources: Guides for developing accessible and inclusive courses and class sessions in face-to-face, online, and blended modalities.
