Making Learning Inclusive: Accessibility in Brightspace

Wednesday, Oct. 22, 10:30-11:30 a.m.

Online

Accessible course design ensures that all learners, regardless of their abilities or circumstances, have equal opportunities to participate, learn, and succeed in a course. Whether you are teaching online or on campus, applying accessibility principles to your Brightspace course can help create inclusive learning experiences that support all students.

Brightspace offers a wide range of built-in accessibility features that ensure all learners can fully engage with a course. Some of the topics we will discuss in this session are:

Best practices for designing accessible content (e.g., using alt text, captions, headings)
Tools and tips for testing and improving course accessibility (e.g. accessibility checker)
Real-world examples and common challenges
