Course creators across education and training contexts lacked practical resources to integrate accessibility into their design process. Most existing materials focused on compliance checklists rather than unified approaches combining Human-Centered Design (HCD), Universal Design for Learning (UDL), and Web Accessibility. Busy professionals need immediately actionable tools over lengthy theoretical training.
Integrate Human-Centered Design, Universal Design for Learning, and Web Accessibility into a unified framework.
Provide actionable, hands-on training in accessibility and Universal Design for Learning (UDL).
Equip course creators with templates, checklists, and workflows to simplify accessible design.
Create a free, publicly available resource that models accessibility while teaching it.
Establish sustainable practices for long-term accessibility maintenance..
Educators transitioning to online teaching with limited accessibility experience.
Higher education faculty and instructional designers seeking to implement accessibility best practices.
Nonprofit or corporate trainers developing internal training programs.
Participants range from basic to advanced online learning experience, all seeking practical accessibility strategies.
Create learning experiences that work for everyone, not just compliance requirements.
Develop immediately usable skills and resources for course improvement.
Build professional expertise in inclusive design practices.
Improve learner satisfaction and completion rates in their courses.
Reduce legal risk while enhancing educational effectiveness.
Modular, self-paced learning with actionable exercises.
Video tutorials and practical resources.
Optional peer collaboration and feedback.
Templates and checklists for immediate application.
Apply Human-Centered Design (HCD), Universal Design for Learning (UDL), and Web Accessibility (WCAG) principles to course development.
Create evidence-based learner personas and course blueprints that center diverse learning needs.
Develop accessible content across multimedia formats and assessments.
Model accessibility best practices throughout the learning experience.
Balance theoretical understanding with practical, hands-on application.
Provide flexible learning pathways to accommodate varied professional contexts.
Emphasize UDL integration rather than compliance-only approaches.
Integrate HCD, UDL, and Web Accessibility into one unified approach.
Build content through understanding learners, planning structure, creating materials, and sustaining impact.
Use evidence-based persona development and course blueprinting techniques.
Include legal compliance education with practical implementation strategies.
Provide downloadable templates, checklists, and workflows for immediate use.
Downloadable goal-writing worksheets, course blueprints, and accessibility checklists.
Empathy maps, persona development, learner journey mapping, and accessibility audits.
Tutorials on WAVE, WebAIM, color contrast checkers, and LMS evaluation.
The course follows a 4-module learning path designed for 5-10 hours total:
Each module includes videos, activities, templates, and optional community support for immediate application and long-term success.
Tutorials on WCAG, UDL, and assistive technologies
Institutional case studies (Yale, Vanderbilt)
Open-source accessibility tools (WAVE, axe, WebAIM)
Video lessons demonstrate key concepts with downloadable slides for ongoing reference.
Each lesson includes supporting resources that participants can use immediately in their own course development.
Accessibility checklists and templates (course goals, modular outlines, content audit matrices)
These guides show how Human-Centered Design, Universal Design for Learning, and Web Accessibility work together.
They include practical examples from different educational contexts to help participants apply concepts in their own work.
Self-paced lessons with short instructional videos and guided exercises.
Integration of H5P interactive quizzes for feedback.
Assignments submitted via shared Notion boards or Google Docs.
Platform-agnostic design to support faculty, trainers, and independent creators.
Distribution through portfolio site, with supplementary materials on YouTube for broader access.
Surveys and reflections on course usability, clarity, and learning outcomes.
Tracking engagement with hands-on activities, exercises, and downloadable templates.
Participation in sharing work, providing feedback, and engaging with peers.
Review of course materials and activities for accessibility and inclusive design.
Analysis of platform data to monitor learner interaction, progress, and resource usage.
30- and 90-day surveys to track real-world use of accessibility strategies.
average student satisfaction rating, with strong performance in “encouraging participation” and “providing clear feedback.”
of students agreed that the course created a positive atmosphere for learning and encouraged creativity.
