How accessible is your online class? Using universal design as a framework, this brief e-book gives busy instructors and course designers practical tips for making their online courses more accessible. It covers topics ranging from developing good text; working with images, video, audio, and slides; avoiding common problems with colors, lists, and tables; and designing assignments and giving feedback. With a bit of planning, instructors can widen the ways that students can engage with the course and reduce the need for last-minute, on-the-fly modifications.
