Drawing on work that was initiated during the 2019 Summer Sprints: <em>Developing Content for Equity and Accessibility,<\/em> the LITS Instruction Team, in collaboration with CILA, CAAS, the Writing Center, and Accessibility Services will offer a new service to review instructional materials and resources for accessibility. Materials reviewed may include course content created in a variety of formats (paper, Google Suite products, Microsoft Office products, PDF documents, videos, websites, and Moodle\/Google Classroom original content, etc.).<br \/>2. As possible and as needed, we will&nbsp; purchase additional software tools to aid in the process.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3. To model good accessibility practice and pilot the review process, the LITS Instruction Team will audit their own instructional content, by the end of the 2022 academic year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Accomplishments so Far<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">IT recently licensed the Grackle suite of accessibility tools, to help to educate faculty on accessibility issues and promote a self-service model of accessibility auditing.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chair\/Lead: Kirk Martinson Members: Audrey Gunn, Ben Gottfried, Rebecca Machado The Problem Instructors are not well-informed about accessibility barriers in their instructional content, and, if they are informed, they may [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3601,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_spp_custom_css":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[24],"class_list":["post-166","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-lits-dei","tag-lits-dei-education"],"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/lits\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/166","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/lits\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/lits\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/lits\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3601"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/lits\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=166"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/lits\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/166\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":167,"href":"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/lits\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/166\/revisions\/167"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/lits\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=166"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/lits\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=166"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/lits\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=166"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
