Digital accessibility is not only a best practice for inclusive teaching, it is the law. By April 2026, all electronic materials provided by state and local government entities must meet Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1. In other words, your Canvas site and all materials you offer must be accessible, even if you have not received a request for accommodation. Join us to learn more about what this means and how you can prepare.
