Two commonly used technologies are screen readers and refreshable Braille displays. Vision-impaired individuals and people with other disabilities that affect their ability to read a computer display often use different technologies so they can access the information displayed on a webpage. Please visit the Canvas General Accessibility Guidelines for step by step tutorials on creating accessible content within the LMS. This area covers how to meet ADA compliance requirements for online courses, including creating screen reader-friendly documents, publishing captioned videos, and adaptively releasing extended-time assessments in Canvas. There are specific steps you can take to ensure that all your courses are accessible. Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, § 1194.24(c) states that “All training and informational video and multimedia productions which support the agency’s mission, regardless of format, that contain speech or other audio information necessary for the comprehension of the content, shall be open or closed captioned.” This accommodation ensures that students with hearing impairments are able to read textual versions of any audio content in a format that is synchronized with the video content.Įnsuring that all of our courses remain accessible to all of our students, regardless of disability, remains a top priority at FIU Online.
