Digital Accessibility and Title II Compliance

Description : A 2024 update to the regulations for Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) clarifies the scope and timeline for digital accessibility compliance at public universities.

This workshop will demonstrate the necessary steps to make your materials compliant. The workshop will also feature our eSpace: Digital Accessibility - Title II Compliance, which guides participants through the steps of establishing a compliant Moodle course page, documents, and multimedia.
