I do this for a few reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>we often consume digitally or on a screen<\/li><li>we often present digitally or on a screen<\/li><li>the most accessible versions of materials will be available digitally.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Consequently, the lines between what might be web accessibility, digital accessibility, and document accessibility are thinner and thinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In our KnowledgeBase, we&#8217;re also blurring those lines a bit. We refer to both what developers and what many folks on our campus make mistakes on when it comes to accessibility. We encourage you to read the &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/kb.swarthmore.edu\/pages\/viewpage.action?pageId=95912445\">&#8216;Fast Five&#8217; Essentials to Preparing Materials<\/a>&#8221; article and <a href=\"mailto:accessibility@swarthmore.edu\">provide feedback by emailing us<\/a>. Let us know how it helped you. Let us know if you might need more assistance when it comes to creating accessible materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also <a href=\"https:\/\/calendly.com\/swat-accessibility\">schedule a time to meet with someone on the Accessibility Team<\/a> as you prepare for your semester. Be on the lookout for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swarthmore.edu\/its\/its-workshops-and-events\">upcoming workshops<\/a>, too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, a reminder that Moodle has many accessibility features.
