(To the tune of Queen's We Will Rock You)


Training, it's a joy, make a big noise

Learning it's a treat, makin' accessible docs today

You get to set your own pace, learnin' ain't a race

Pickin' your courses to match your place, singin'



We will, we will train you.

We will, we will train you.



Lucky, we've got a plan, new plan

Training that's neat, gonna get registered today

We got courses you'll ace, new lessons to embrace

All those bad habits you'll learn to erase



We will, we will train you, sing it!

We will, we will train you.





Accessibility Micro-Course FAQs:


  *   When is the next session?  There are no longer "sessions" or course dates. You can register to gain access to the micro-courses and complete them at your own pace.

  *   Who can register?  Currently, only employees from the WA community and technical college system can register. If you're not a system employee, you can still review the lesson content at our public facing site: SBCTC Library of Accessibility Resources<https://bit.ly/sbctcaccess>.

  *   What's covered in the courses?  Currently, the micro-courses available include: Understanding Accessibility, Accessible Design Concepts, Universal Design, Accessible Word Documents, Accessible PPTs, Accessible Email, Canvas Accessibility, and Accessible PDFs. More micro-courses will be added.

  *   How is this different from Accessibility 101? If I took Accessibility 101 should I enroll in these courses?  The lessons have all been updated and expanded. If you've taken Accessibility 101, I think it's worth refreshing your knowledge by reviewing the new courses and testing your understanding. You can even earn some badges to show off what you know! Additionally, we'll be added even more courses (beyond what was covered in Accessibility 101) in the near future.

  *   I'm trying to register but am getting an error message.  Clear your browser cache or use a different browser. If you're a Bellevue employee, contact eLearning at sbctc.edu.
