Tips for Accessible Tech Selection & Navigating the Tech Purchasing Process

This session will provide guidance on locating and selecting technology that has accessibility features built in. There will also be an overview of the technology purchasing process at CSUEB, with tips for avoiding common pitfalls that can prolong the process.

Accessibility Working Session

Starting April 24, 2026, our campus will be required to ensure that all digital course materials meet accessibility standards, ensuring equal access for individuals with disabilities in compliance with Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). To support this important initiative, we are hosting a hands-on working session designed to help faculty create fully accessible course content and remediate existing documents. Whether you need guidance on formatting, multimedia accessibility, or specific tools and techniques, this session is the perfect opportunity to get the assistance you need. Bring your questions, challenges, and materials—let’s work together to create an inclusive learning environment for all!

Locating Accessible Materials

This session will provide tips and strategies for locating course materials that were designed with accessibility features. Library databases, web resources, and other common sources for materials will be highlighted.

This workshop will introduce you to the basics of making documents more accessible using Grackle Docs (for Google Documents), Accessibility Checker for Microsoft Word, and Acrobat Pro for PDFs. Learn how to use helpful tools that check for accessibility issues, and tips and tricks for remediating these issues in order to provide fully accessible documents to everyone.

Please join us for a panel discussion with faculty leaders in accessibility.

You've taken the steps to address basic accessibility, now let's take UDL one step further. We'll discuss some of the core principles in more detail and spend some time developing ideas you can experiment with. If you're interested, feel free to bring a syllabus, an assignment, or exam to work through together.

Participants will walk away with knowledge of how to quickly and easily build accessibility into their course content. (Part 1) What is UDL? Why does it matter? Who does it benefit? (Hint: it's not just about our disabled students.) (Part 2) Accessible and flexible document creation. (Part 3) Choosing/creating accessible content and mindful organization of course environment.

Are your online/hybrid courses ready for April 2026 when new requirements in Title II of the Americans with Disability Act will be enacted? In this workshop, faculty will learn about the new Title II requirements and leveraging Canvas to meet those requirements. Topics will include how to make your instructional materials accessible to all students including scanned pdf's, word and google documents, images, and videos.
