Creating Accessible Digital Content
Ensure that the courses, videos, and documents you create are fully accessible to individuals with disabilities. Tutorials, graphics, and other tips can be found on CIT's self-help pages for more information and guidance.
Documents
Electronic documents and forms are now the most common way of sharing information. At SUNY Geneseo, electronic documents must be clear, concise, and readily accessible with or without assistive technology.
Strive for 85
To ensure that all digital course content complies with the new Title II rule, Geneseo announces the Strive for 85 campaign. All Brightspace courses must have an Ally accessibility score of 85% or above. CIT will review low-scoring courses in Brightspace for improvement.
Make Your Course Content Accessible
- Use Ally in Brightspace to check your course's accessibility score and how to fix any inaccessible materials you have.
- Use accessibility checkers (like GrackleDocs and Microsoft Accessibility Checker) to ensure all of your course materials are accessible before uploading them to Brightspace.
- Schedule an accessibility consultation with CIT's Digital Accessibility Analyst, Anjali Shiyamsaran.
