Ensuring that your campus is compliant with Americans with Disabilities Act standards for online courses and technology accessibility can help your institution avoid hefty fines. But perhaps even more important, compliance enhances the quality of education for all students. Institutions that welcome a diverse student body, including students with disabilities, provide a more well‐rounded education for all. Building an accessible campus is about more than just providing captioning on request or the correct screen‐reading software.
