An accommodation notice came softly a-through my inbox today
Could've tripped out easy a-but I've a-changed my ways
It'll take time, I know it, but in a while
It’s gonna be fine, I know it, I’ll fix up my files.
'Cause I made my mind up, accessibility’s the bottom line.


Registration is now open for the May session of Accessibility 101 (May 7 - June 3)!

Register through the SBCTC eLearning registration page<https://www.sbctc.edu/colleges-staff/programs-services/elearning-open-education/training-registration.aspx>.

Accessibility 101: The Basics of Inclusive Design
This 4-week, online, asynchronous course is designed for faculty and staff who want to learn simple and quick steps to make materials accessible for people with disabilities and better for all users. Participants do not need to be tech savvy to take this course, but familiarity with MS Office applications and Canvas will be helpful. Participants will be introduced to basic accessibility concepts, practices, and inclusive design standards.

The time commitment for this course is approximately 25 hours.

Technology note: This course focuses on creating content using Microsoft Office and online platforms. We strongly recommend that you use the most recent versions of Office. If you're using a version older than Office 2013 please consider contacting your IT office for an update. You can elect to use Google Apps for some assignments, but these programs do not have the full suite of accessibility tools, thus you may not be able to receive full credit on some assignments as a result.

This course fills fast. If you go to register and no section is available, the training course has already filled (no joke, this is likely to happen within 24-48 hours).
