Competency Description

If educational experiences, such as taking an online course, are to result in genuine learning, they need to be accessible to all learners. In fact, for most educational institutions, it’s the law. In this competency, you will learn about the legal and regulatory requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) that govern online educational content. You will discover what it takes to make such content accessible to everyone—in specific terms, what it means for content to be “perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust.”

This course is also available in the Design Project Leadership Track.

You will have six months to complete this competency and can review the materials at any time during this period. If you wish to access these resources after the six months, you will need to re-enroll.
