Making Learning Inclusive: Accessibility in Brightspace for Instructors

Accessible course design ensures that all learners, regardless of their abilities or circumstances, have equal opportunities to participate, learn and succeed in a course. Whether you are teaching online or on campus, applying accessibility principles to your Brightspace course can help create inclusive learning experiences that support all students.

Brightspace offers a wide range of built-in accessibility features that ensure all learners can fully engage with a course. Some of the topics we will discuss in this session are:

  • Best practices for designing accessible content (e.g., using alt text, captions, headings).
  • Tools and tips for testing and improving course accessibility (e.g. accessibility checker).
  • Real-world examples and common challenges.

Registration is required for this event.
