Course accessibility Review

In following the MSU web accessibility guide when creating my course materials, I believe my course is fairly accessible for students of all levels and abilities. My documents all have strong contrast between text and background, images within the project sheets have alternative text, and files have been uploaded as rtf word documents rather than pdf’s to make them accessible to students using screen readers. I made sure to avoid the use of tables, and all lists are clearly denoted using bullet points. One area that could use improvement would be my slideshows, which I plan to give more energy to in the future. Because I did not have enough time this semester to screencast my lectures, they do not provide as much benefit to the course as I would have hoped. In the future I plan to add alt text to all of the images, as well as provide a transcript to go along with the lectures. This semester allowed me to get a good start on developing my color and design hybrid course, but in order to provide maximum accessibility I will need to put more effort into supplying students with multiple avenues for multimedia content.
