Description: The Accessibility in the Curriculum (AIC) certificate is a chance to learn about course accessibility in a personalized program that allows you to focus on what you teach. Many instructors who have implemented accessible workflows have reported developing more usable workflows, becoming more proficient in different technologies and even improved student ratings. The certificate is earned by completing several small projects to improve accessibility in the instructor’s own courses. Steps include completing one self-paced tutorial (mandatory) while developing a customized training plan based on your course accessibility audit. Additional steps include submitting an accessible syllabus file, testing and finding accessible content from another source, and submitting an accessible file or media item you made. This program includes multiple consultation and peer communication opportunities allowing you to receive individualized insights on best practices for making your content using your tools more accessible. Whether you teach math, art history, biology, music or a foreign language there are tools available to help you create course content that not only meets accessibility guidelines, but is more usable by every student.
