Your impact
Understanding the impact of your work is key to creating accessible content. By recognizing the challenges faced by individuals with disabilities, you can develop empathy and design solutions that enhance their learning experience. Accessible content not only benefits students with disabilities but also improves usability for all users, making it a win-win for everyone.Accessibility is a shared responsibility
Accessibility is a shared responsibility among all content creators, educators, and university staff. Collaborating and supporting each other in implementing accessibility features will lead to a more inclusive and barrier-free learning environment. Together, we can identify challenges and find effective solutions that benefit all students.Action plan
To support accessibility, create an action plan that outlines specific steps you can take. This may include using clear and concise language, providing alternative text for images, and ensuring proper formatting and headings. Regularly evaluate and improve your materials based on accessibility guidelines and best practices, continuously enhancing your role as a content creator.IU resources
