The goal of the courses is to help students identify their individual needs, determine what resources are appropriate, recognize the faculty role in their development, and formulate a plan for an actively engaged and enriched experience from campus to career. The courses will be taught by Peer Academic Leaders (PALs) and faculty, staff and/or graduate students to provide guidance, raise awareness and understanding of students' majors and help support collaborative and co-curricular opportunities available within the School/College. This open educational resource is the required textbook for both courses.6802019-03-08T03:25:18Z2024-01-22T14:52:22ZProfessional Web Accessibility Auditing Made Easy<img alt="Read more about Professional Web Accessibility Auditing Made Easy" title="Professional Web Accessibility Auditing Made Easy cover image" class="cover " width="350" height="525" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6NjI2LCJwdXIiOiJibG9iX2lkIn19--b7f36b2c8e95d50d518257c28e097f5a6b6e549d/0000ProWebAcc.png" />Digital accessibility skills are in high demand, as the world becomes more aware of barriers in digital content that prevent some people from participating in a digital society.

This book has been created to answer this question, and to demystify “digital accessibility” as a business practice. It brings together all the pieces of the digital accessibility picture, and provides strategies and resources that will help make digital accessibility a part of an organization’s business culture.6782019-03-08T02:32:35Z2024-01-22T14:52:22ZWeb Accessibility for Developers<img alt="Read more about Web Accessibility for Developers" title="Web Accessibility for Developers cover image" class="cover " width="350" height="525" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6NjI0LCJwdXIiOiJibG9iX2lkIn19--b95d8b8f382f158f1cbb3efb2de171f8fc2bcf4c/0000WebAccDev.jpg" />Web Accessibility for Developers is a technical book aimed primarily at programmers.
