The talk will be centered around three key questions:

What is digital accessibility? A high-level overview of what digital accessibility means and the changing legal and policy landscape.

Why does it matter here at CUNY? A look at how digital accessibility supports equitable access for our students, faculty, and staff with disabilities (both permanent and situational/temporary) and why it is especially important now.

What can we do? Practical ways we can all support digital accessibility best practices, including through the new self-paced Digital Accessibility course in Brightspace.

Co-hosted by CETLL and the Rosenthal Library.
