The use of technology without regard to accessibility may unwittingly hinder access for some people and may be construed as discriminatory regardless of intention. If accessibility is not considered when creating or directing students to a PDF, for example, the process of converting to an accessible format can be a time-consuming and formidable experience. And there may be no “quick fixes” if the instructor is asked to retrofit. Please review the information the Disability Resource Center provides. If you have questions, contact the Disability Resource Center for clarification.
The Department of Education’s intent is not to discourage institutions’ use of emerging technologies but rather to ensure the accessibility of such technologies before incorporating them into class requirements and other programs and services. All university staff, faculty and administrators must collaborate to ensure that access is achieved.
