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. </span></p>
