ATRC Trainings

The ATRC has developed an online course covering the foundations of electronic accessibility.
The three-week introductory course is asynchronous, hosted in Canvas.
It is offered through TILT in the Best Practices in Teaching series, and is eligible for 5 domain experience units in the Inclusive Pedagogy track.
The course is free for both faculty and staff.
Staff are welcome and encouraged to register as the course is not limited to teaching roles.
Registration information for “Accessible and Inclusive Electronic Content”.

We are able to assign self-paced trainings to individuals through our SiteImprove license. Please use the contact form to request information about these training opportunities.
These targeted training modules are beneficial for those who have an immediate need to learn about accessibility and are unable to wait for the TILT course.
