Accessible Publisher Resources

It is challenging to tell if software provided by your publisher is accessible, and appropriate to use in classes you teach for 成人头条. 

At this point, most publisher software needs to improve to meet the standards that are required by Federal Law and university policy, if we are going to use them in our classes. Software should conform to the WCAG 2.0 AA standards, as set forth by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

At this time, the following publisher tools and instructional software have been evaluated and determined to be accessible platforms that are approved for use without an exception:

  • Access Now (through the university bookstore)
