The Accessible Technology and Compliance Committee has approved the following standards and guidelines (and where appropriate, associated checklists.)
Accessibility guidelines for multimedia
Guidelines that address the presentation of multimedia in various permutations (live vs. pre-recorded; presented in person vs. over the internet; presented to the public vs. to a known-and-controlled audiences, such as a class) and how and when the multimedia needs to be accessible.
A web based version of the guidelines, along with a Microsoft Word (.docx) version are available.
Computer Lab Accessibility Guidelines
The Computer Lab Accessibility Guidelines were developed to help computer lab managers across the University create accessible computer labs. The guidelines are based on Section 508 of the Rehabilitation act of 1973, as amended, and the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design. A checklist has also been developed to help computer lab managers easily determine what, if anything, needs to be fixed.
