Accessible Content Creation Checklists
Ensuring accessibility in all our digital content is crucial for creating an inclusive environment where everyone, regardless of their abilities, can access and benefit from our resources. To support this goal, we have developed a series of checklists designed to help you create accessible content across various platforms and formats.
Why Accessibility Matters: Accessibility is about making sure that all users, including those with disabilities, have equal access to information and functionality. By following accessibility best practices, we can:
- Improve usability for everyone
- Enhance the overall user experience
- Promote inclusivity and diversity within our community
- Comply with legal requirements and standards
Available Checklists: To help you get started, we have compiled comprehensive checklists for different scenarios, including but not limited to:
- Creating content pages in Canvas LMS
- Sending emails in Office365 Outlook
- Creating Word documents and PDFs
- Designing PowerPoint presentations
- Remediating scanned PDFs
- Creating Excel spreadsheets
- Designing images in Canva
- Developing web pages in Drupal
- Building surveys or forms in Office365 Forms
- Creating calendar invites in Office365 Outlook
- General guidelines for language, font, abbreviations, dates, and more
These checklists provide step-by-step instructions and best practices to ensure your content is accessible and user-friendly. You can find these checklists in the left navigation menu under "Accessibility Checklists."
By incorporating these guidelines into your workflow, you contribute to a more accessible and equitable digital landscape. We encourage you to explore each checklist and apply the recommendations to your daily tasks.
