Digital Accessibility Liaisons are staff and faculty who represent their work unit, large or small, in a tri-campus movement to build digital accessibility awareness, learn new skills, and promote the procurement and use of digital content that is accessible to everyone, particularly to students, faculty, and staff with disabilities.
The Digital Accessibility Liaisons network is a community of colleagues who are excited to learn more about digital accessibility and to build their own skills so they can share what they learn with their units. They do so in several ways:
- Communicate online via a Microsoft Teams workspace.
- Meet as a group several times per year for training and discussion.
- Continue to learn about how to make digital content, from websites to course materials to videos, more accessible.
- Help to promote digital accessibility within their units.
