The Center for Instructional Technology’s Technology Accessibility team offers workshops, webinars, and individual and group training on web accessibility guidelines; best practices for creating accessible documents, presentations, and spreadsheets; Universal Design for Learning; and other topics as needed. This does not replace accommodations an individual user may need and request, but a focus on accessibility can address common challenges with digital content to make it more usable and accessible for all users.
