Distance Education Highlights

Digital Accessibility Training

The NEW asynchronous Digital Accessibility Essentials training, which includes a digital badge for successful completion, is now available in D2L. Who can take it? Full-Time Faculty, Adjunct Faculty, GTAs, and Student Workers. How does this training differ from others? This training moves beyond the basics of digital accessibility to address practical approaches and remediation techniques in Microsoft Office, Adobe Acrobat Pro, and D2L. How do I register? You can self-enroll in the training in D2L by clicking on ‘Self Registration’ on the Navbar when you first log in. Don’t forget to check out the other resources available on our Digital Accessibility Basics page.
