Overview

Faculty, staff, and graduate students at the University of Oregon create and edit digital content every day. Examples of digital content include Word documents, PDFs, videos, flyers, emails, electronic textbooks, PowerPoint presentations, spreadsheets, charts, Canvas courses, most other types of documents and media accessed via computers and mobile devices.

Core Training

The UO Digital Content Accessibility Training is located in MyTrack. The training will help you understand how people with disabilities are impacted by digital accessibility and will explain the basics of what you need to make your digital content accessible to people with disabilities.

This Canvas Community course is a supplement to that training, providing details of how to make specific types of documents and content (Word, PowerPoint, Canvas, etc.) accessible.

The core training content from MyTrack is also duplicated here in the Understanding Accessibility and Accessible Design Concepts modules. You will not get credit for completing the training here - you must take the core training in MyTrack to receive credit. The content is copied here to serve as a quick reference after you have completed the training.

Navigating the Modules

Use the Modules tab to find the module you are interested in. While it may be helpful to go through a module from the beginning, you can also go directly to the relevant content page. For example, if you want to learn all about accessibility in Microsoft Word, start at the Microsoft Word Overview and go through the entire section. If you instead are just trying to find out how to make accessible tables in Microsoft Word, you may prefer to go directly to the Tables in Word page.
