Accessibilitv Requirements

 No matter what tool is used to deliver the information to the online student, the
 following items are required to ensure accessibility and compliance with federal
 and state laws.


 1. Provide an equivalent delivery alternative for all course materials (such as text
 alternative or captioning for video).
 2. Use common fonts (Arial, Times New Roman, Helvetica, etc.) and avoid
 extremely decorative fonts.
 3. Utilize high contrast between text and background.
4. Organize text into mana'geablechunks with headings to separate the
information.
5. Use column and row headings for tables and charts.
6. Use ALT tags, captions, or description with images.
7. Eliminate flashing or flickering images to protect those who may suffer from
epilepticseizures.                    .


8. If animation is used, text equivalent must be provided.
9. Ensure that documents with color are understandable for people who cannot
perceive color (color blindness). If color is used to convey important information,
an alternativeindicatorsuchas an asterisk(*) mustbe used.           '    '

10. Use the clearest and simplest language appropriate for the document's
content and refrain from using slang or regional language.
11. Make each hyperlink descriptive of the content to which it links. For example,
when referring a student to a web page, give a brief explanation of the content of
the web page or the actual web page address. Do not use "Click here" since a
screen reader would not understand "here."
12. If creating PDF documents with Adobe Acrobat, use version 5.0 orhigher
since earlier versions are not ADA compliant. The later versions have features
that are critical for the accessibility of PDF documents. They also have an
accessibility checker which was n.otpresent in previous versions of the product.
13. All documents must include page numbers to facilitate navigation.


In addition to the general requirements above, faculty are responsible for
ensuring that all tools used in distance education meet the necessary
accessibility requirements.                                                             ~
