Course Accessibility Resources

The Center for Innovation in Teaching and Learning is here to assist faculty with ensuring course content meets current ADA Guidelines. Below you will find an implementation timeline for the new accessibility plan for course content at 成年人深夜福利在线观看 Tech, as well as resources and tools to help make your course(s) more accessible.

If you have questions about accessibility in general, you can visit the Accessible Education Center for more information. Please note, if you're a web editor, check out the guide to the new ADA requirements in the Web Support Portal.

  • Understanding the New ADA Ruling

    What's Changed?

    In accordance with the WCAG 2.1 AA standards, institutions are now required to make all digital media accessible. This includes PDFs and media content such as course videos, live lectures, content on the LMS (D2L/iLearn), and other instructional media. This also includes the university website and all documents and media posted there.

    What's Required? 

    Institutions must now meet the WCAG 2.1 AA standards for documents (books, PDFs, etc) by providing alternative formats; time-based media through live-captioning and captions with audio descriptions for pre-recorded videos; and transcripts for audio-only content. 

    Who & When?

    Because the work to make new and existing content accessible may be substantial, it is important to begin working on learning and remediating now rather than waiting for the compliance date. By February 3, 2026 all spring courses at 成年人深夜福利在线观看 Tech must be in alignment with the guidelines having a score of 70% or higher with no major or severe issues within Panorama in D2L iLearn and alt text for all images. 

    By April 24, 2026, public universities and colleges serving an area with a population of 50,000+ must meet the WCAG 2.1 AA standards. 成年人深夜福利在线观看 Tech falls within this category.

    TN Tech Action Steps

    Based on the information outlined above, 成年人深夜福利在线观看 Tech has purchased a new digital accessibility software, YuJa Panorama, to integrate within our learning management system (D2L) to help faculty ensure their course materials are accessible and provide alternative formats for students. In addition, this website has been created and will continue to be updated with resources for faculty. The timeline below shows the process for this implementation and next steps. For the university website, the Web & Digital Media team uses accessibility software to monitor compliance, as well as guides available for web editors on how to help maintain compliance, and is working with the AEC to roll out a PDF remediation tool.

  • Document Accessibility

    YuJa Panorama enables faculty to check a document's accessibility within a D2L/iLearn course, and for students and faculty to convert documents into alternative formats within D2L. However, at this time, it does not correct the documents themselves. Faculty must ensure document accessibility within the document itself using the tools. Learn how to use the accessibility tools within Word documents, PowerPoints, and other documents below.
