Making Online Content Accessible for All
Making Online Content Accessible for All is a 6-week facilitated course designed to equip professionals with the skills to design, evaluate, and improve accessible digital content. It is delivered through self-paced Brightspace modules and weekly 60-minute live Zoom session.
Live sessions include demonstrations of screen readers, guest speakers who share practical insights, and guided audits where participants practice evaluating content in small groups after a live demo.
The Brightspace modules include opportunities for discussion, reflection, and individualized feedback to support ongoing learning throughout the course.
Weekly mini-audits are submitted throughout the course, building the skills and evidence needed for the final project.

- Apply the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) to design and remediate digital content.
- Evaluate accessibility issues in alignment with standards. (Follow the W3C method).

Options
If you can’t commit to the 6-week schedule or attend live sessions, a self-paced version is available. It includes the same core course content.
The key difference is that there are no live sessions and no instructor feedback or reviews. You’ll still complete mini audits and a final project, but you can work through everything at your own pace without submitting anything for assessment.
Enrollment is handled manually. After you enroll, your account will be set up and you’ll receive an email with everything you need to get started.
