Overview

In a world rapidly becoming virtual, accessibility in digital environments is crucial for developers, designers, and educators. While most people agree on the ethical importance of accessibility, learning the skill of making documents, multimedia, eLearning, websites, designs, and other digital assets accessible can be a daunting task. 

This mini-course addresses a general needs gap which is more public awareness surrounding accessibility in digital designs. My ability to compile and synthesize existing resources is an essential competency of instructional designers. I also focused on communicating the “why” behind accessibility in design, which is a crucial component of stimulating intrinsic motivation in learners.
