Tools for Inclusive Course Design: Engagement with Accessibility Feedback

Improving the accessibility of digital course content can help ensure students with disabilities have more equitable access to their course files as well as improve the learning experience for all students. Yet many instructors remain unaware about accessibility barriers in their courses and untrained in accessible content authoring practices. This paper examines engagement with a set of accessibility tools designed to increase awareness about the accessibility of digital course files (Accessibility Indicators), deliver guidance about how to correct accessibility issues (Instructor Feedback), and provide insight into the prevalence and severity of issues across a course (Course Accessibility Report).
