Creating and Remediating Digital Content for Accessibility

Strengthen your career. Strengthen your institution.

Build ADA-Compliant Digital Content Skills

Digital accessibility isn’t just a requirement—it's a powerful opportunity to lead.
With the new ADA Title II update and evolving WCAG 2.1 standards raising the bar, public institutions, healthcare organizations, and digital content creators have a chance to create experiences that truly reach everyone. Now is the moment to skill up, stand out, and help build a more accessible digital future for your organization. 

Learners will engage with brief instructional videos, case studies and role-based activities that translate accessibility concepts into everyday practice. Along the way, you’ll explore key frameworks and laws — including the ADA, UDL guidelines, agile methodology and digital accessibility models — to understand how they shape accessible digital environments.

This course is designed for those with no previous experience with digital accessibility. In this six-week, fully online program, you will: 

  • Identify and remediate accessibility barriers of digital content
  • Learn and apply the WCAG POUR principles (perceivable, operable, understandable, robust)
  • Participate in discussions
  • Get feedback on real-world digital documents
  • Test content using screen readers and keyboard navigation
