What is Digital Accessibility?
Digital accessibility is all about making sure that everyone, regardless of their abilities, can access and use online content. At the Center for Teaching Excellence, we are committed to creating a digital environment where all students, faculty, and staff can easily navigate and interact with online courses and other digital content.
Why is Digital Accessibility Important?
As educational experiences move online, ensuring accessible digital content is crucial to supporting the needs of our learning community. In addition, it is important to remember, the Final Rule, approved by the Department of Justice, requires compliance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA accessibility standards for all web content and mobile apps by April 24, 2026, for public entities serving over 50,000 residents. Please note that TAMU system is adopting WCAG 2.2 standards.
