KISS (Keep It Short and Simple) and AWE (Accessible with Examples)
Thursday May 22, 2025 12:01pm - 12:08pm CDT
Louis Room
It's easier than you might think to create an accessible Northwestern Canvas course with links to free, high-quality course materials. The secrets: KISS (Keep It Short and Simple). And use tools like SensusAccess to make sure your site is AWE (Accessible With Examples).

By the end of this session, participants will know how to use SensusAccess to make PDF's of magazine articles and book pages so they're easier for visually impaired students to read. They will also know how to streamline their syllabi and link to "Mission Accessible"-certified course materials hidden on "pages." They will understand why underlining is a no-no because it looks like a hyperlink.
