Mizzou Online Spring Digital Accessibility Challenge

Join Mizzou Online for a 10-day challenge designed to strengthen your digital accessibility skills, one small, achievable step at a time. Each day, you'll receive a short "mission" focused on a key area of accessibility in Canvas and common teaching materials. 

Over the course of the challenge, you'll learn how to:

• Streamline your course materials and set accessibility priorities.
• Use plain language, headings, and lists to support all learners. 
• Add descriptive links and alternative text to images. 
• Ensure color contrast, captions, and tables meet accessibility standards. 
• Check accessibility using built-in tools and improve your Ally course score. 

How it works:

You'll receive one mission per day for 10 days. Each mission includes clear steps and links to quick tutorials. 

Earn your badge:

Participants who complete all 10 challenges and share a screenshot of their Ally score before starting and after finishing to teachingonline@missouri.edu will earn the Digital Accessibility Challenge Badge from Mizzou Online. 

Why join:

Accessibility isn't just a compliance requirement; it's a civil right and a cornerstone of quality course design. This challenge helps you take practical, meaningful action to make your online teaching more learner centered.
