The workshops are free to attend, and open to all California Community Colleges personnel. Workshop information is geared toward:
Making your course content and documents accessible isn’t just a good idea, it’s the law. Section 508 is a federal law that requires agencies (which includes schools) receiving federal funds to provide individuals with disabilities equal access to electronic information and data comparable to those who do not have disabilities (unless an undue burden would be imposed on the agency).
The good news is that, despite what you may have heard, it’s not that hard to make your content accessible in Canvas. Come learn how!
