Join us in person on Tuesday, May 5 for a drop-in Fix-Your-Content Day in support of our WCAG 2.1 accessibility initiative. Stop by anytime between 11:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. on 5/5/26 and work alongside experts from Student Accessibility Resources, eLearning Technologies, Blackboard, University Libraries, and University Marketing. Bring your laptop to: 

  • Learn how to interpret Blackboard Ally accessibility indicators 
  • Address common accessibility challenges  
  • Use accessibility checker tools effectively 
  • Apply best practices to improve the accessibility of your digital content (images, documents, PDFs, video captions, and more).  
  • Refresh course materials, update library resources in Blackboard, and explore curriculum enhancements 

Whether you stay for 10 minutes or two hours, you’ll leave with practical updates and greater confidence that your materials are accessible to all learners.  Can't make this session, we have several other  accessibility training options available.
