Welcome, Access Heroes, and thanks for visiting this site!
Ableism permeates higher education, from the work we write and assign students to the academic journals and conferences to which we submit and host. I am committed to the design justice framework and mantra “nothing about us without us!” that centers disabled folks in reshaping our teaching and learning spaces.
This site shares strategies for:
Instructors seldom receive the digital accessibility training necessary to make their courses and materials compliant and inclusive. Learn about plain language, alt text, audio description, color contrast, and more.
Students are future instructors, content creators, web designers, and leaders who will be responsible for making their content accessible. We need to incorporate accessibility training into our curriculum and model access excellence.
