Learn Accessibility Basics

Kennesaw State University's Digital Learning Innovations (DLI) provides training resources on accessibility and Universal Design for Learning (UDL). These include microlearning videos, self-paced professional development modules, and instructor-led, three-week online workshops.  

For our self-paced PDs and three-week workshops, participants can earn digital credentials (badges) documenting your new skills.  These can be shared via social media such as LinkedIn, or added to your portfolio or digital resume!

These professional development resources will help you to:

  • Differentiate between accessibility and accommodation.鈥�
  • Identify laws and regulations on accessibility.
  • Describe how accessibility practices make content accessible for people with disabilities.鈥�
  • Locate accessibility gaps in own courses.
  • Create accessible documents and media.
  • Select and provide an equal alternative when a learning object is not fully accessible. 

Professional Development

Start your professional development with these targeted trainings and resources on accessibility. Learn to find and use accessibility solutions in a brief 10-minute video, or tackle complex alternative text solutions with a 30-minute, self-directed session. For a more comprehensive approach, join our three-week Accessible Teaching Essentials workshop, designed to help faculty create accessible course content.
