Digital Accessibility

Information promoting digital accessibility requirements and techniques.

Ensuring digital accessibility of all of WOU’s digital materials and platforms requires attention from every community member.

  1. Be Accessible! For all new digital content you create:
    • Switch to WOU-supported platforms. Microsoft, Canvas, WordPress, and ScreenPal. These platforms have built-in accessibility tools.
    • Create digital materials with accessible images, headings, links, lists, and use of color.
  2. Archive unused or inactive digital materials on websites and in Canvas.
  3. Remediate existing inaccessible content on active webpages and in Canvas for next term classes so that it too, will Be Accessible!

The additional information on this site provides resources on why and how to produce accessible content.
