UMW continues to advance digital accessibility across courses and materials. Thanks go to Cartland Berge, Ruth Davison, Shannon Hauser, Victoria Russell and Jerry Slezk for their efforts in the endeavor.
The Class Materials Makeover Series continues Thursday, Oct. 30, at 4 p.m. with a Zoom session on Audio and Video Accessibility, covering updated standards for captions, transcripts and descriptions. Two more workshops follow this fall:
-
Slide Decks – Thursday, Nov. 6, 4 to 5 p.m.
-
Syllabus – Tuesday, Nov. 11, 4 to 5 p.m.
All sessions are recorded, and past topics—like Headings, Alt Text, and Color and Contrast—are available on the Class Materials Makeover Series webpage.
A new Essential Accessibility Concepts quick-reference guide highlights six key practices for creating inclusive materials. Faculty can also visit the Digital Accessibility webpage for ongoing updates, tools and training.
Questions? Email t2access@umw.edu or schedule a 30-minute Accessibility Consultation — available in person or via Zoom — for one-on-one support.
