Accessibility

In honor of Global Accessibility Awareness Day, join Missouri Online for a virtual Accessibility Open House on Thursday, May 15, from 3 to 4:30 p.m., to learn more about digital accessibility practices to supports all students. This interactive session will be informed by your most pressing concerns. We’ll be on hand to answer your questions, workshop your materials with you, and discuss how to address accessibility barriers in your online courses. Drop in for a bit or stay for the full session, as your schedule allows. Anyone interested in learning about digital accessibility is welcome to join.

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.
