Accessibility

As you consider what types of material you want to include in your learning objects it’s important to consider how users with disabilities will be able to interact with them. In fact, designing learning materials with accessibility in mind benefits all users.

The University of Wisconsin is committed to making online learning materials more accessible for people with vision, hearing, or other disabilities. “It’s the right thing to do; it’s the law; and your funding may require it.” For more guidance, we recommend you visit the UW accessibility website.

Another useful tool is UW-Madison’s Web Accessibility Checklist.
