Building Sustainable Course Accessibility

Join Carey Applegate (Director of Digital Accessibility, UIS) and Emily Boles (Chief Online Learning Officer, UIS) for a discussion of how the University of Illinois Springfield prepared for the ADA Title II compliance deadline. They’ll discuss how their teams built a shared approach to course accessibility, combining faculty consultations, targeted file remediation, and quality assurance reviews to make the most of limited resources. By building faculty confidence and skills alongside remediation support, the effort created a more sustainable model for digital accessibility. Carey and Emily will share practical strategies and lessons learned, and explore how institutions with limited staffing and resources can adapt the approach to their own campuses.

This talk can be joined via Zoom.
