I am upping the game for ADA compliance for my online courses at CSUDH. Next year, course materials at CSU will be required to be ADA compliant and I\u2019m getting a jump on it now. In the past, some of my materials were mostly compliant although I wasn\u2019t diligent about how much they complied percentage-wise. I realized I could do better when I looked into my materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Updating materials has been exciting. It\u2019s been an awesome learning curve and I am already finding how some tools support ADA too. I am also learning that some popular software tools that are lacking ADA compliant aspects (I won\u2019t mention names, but some very popular tools).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I started teaching 18 years ago, compliance wasn\u2019t talked about much, so I am happy to see it take to the forefront of teaching in the classroom. Although ADA compliance hasn\u2019t been on the top of my list for things I do, now it is. To be honest, most of my clients don\u2019t require ADA because of their clientele and in the past Universities I worked at were not as diligent and maybe because some LMS tools were not updated in that area. Today LMS systems have really come a long way in helping content creators and teachers be compliant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ADA Requirements: Effective Communication<\/a> is a good link to start with for those out there looking for some basic info in general. I want to translate what I\u2019ve learned into my training documents and videos to make them the best I can. Whether I create supplemental material, transcripts for videos, closed caption, or clearly tagging images for text readers, I am stretching my knowledge on the tools I’ve used for a long time. Kudos to CSU system for focusing on this important topic. My past and new materials are a work-in-progress that I\u2019m thrilled to update.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
