As faculty members add online and multimedia elements to their courses, colleges and universities across the country are realizing that there is a lot of work to be done to ensure that disabled students (and employees) have equal access to course material and university websites. Unfortunately, far too few schools consider the task a top priority. Making university websites and course content accessible may be the law, but many institutions have a long way to go toward compliance. The author looks at three key elements of a more proactive approach to accessibility on campus: (1) Building accessibility considerations into the IT procurement process; (2) Developing tools and training to help faculty ensure that course content is accessible; and (3) Taking systemwide, long-term approaches to developing and sharing best practices.
