As an institution committed to excellence, equity, and innovation, we recognize that digital accessibility is not simply a technical requirement—it is a fundamental expression of who we are and what we value. Accessible digital environments ensure that every learner, educator, and staff member can engage fully with the tools and opportunities that support academic and professional success.
Digital accessibility is also a core part of Universal Design for Learning (UDL)—a framework that encourages designing learning experiences that support all learners from the start. By applying accessibility within a UDL approach, we remove barriers proactively and create course materials that are more usable, flexible, and engaging for everyone.
Use the Moodle course template and built-in tools to create course pages aligned with UDL principles - COTROnline/Moodle (UDL and Moodle)
By embedding accessible design and UDL practices into our daily work, we improve the quality and usability of our digital content and advance a culture of true inclusion. Accessibility is not an add-on; it is a shared responsibility and a core part of delivering meaningful, effective education.
Explore the core components below to learn practical steps for creating accessible and inclusive digital course materials.
Each section provides clear guidance and actionable strategies you can apply immediately.
