The Studio for Teaching and Learning recently offered two brief (20-minute) sessions for Faculty and Staff interested in learning how to make their digital content more accessible. 

These sessions explored how alt (alternative) text can be added to Brightspace and Office 365.  Alt text is important for students who are not able to access images, tables, or other non-text elements.

The sessions were cohosted by the Studio for Teaching and Learning with the Patrick Power Library and the Fred Smithers Centre respectively.  The Brightspace video also reviews some considerations for selecting images and text, as well as some copyright issues.

The recorded sessions are now available online:
