Providing accessible digital content at the University of Oregon is important to creating a campus experience in which everyone feels they belong and can be successful
"Digital accessibility" refers to designing digital content so that it can be fully used by people with disabilities. "Digital content" includes anything used or viewed on a computer or mobile device, such as...
- Web pages
- Microsoft Word documents
- PowerPoint presentations
- PDFs
- Canvas courses
- Streaming videos
- Software and mobile apps
- and much more
Everyone at the University of Oregon who creates, edits, or distributes digital content is responsible for ensuring that it is accessible to people with disabilities. Digital accessibility is an ethical imperative, a University Policy requirement, and a federal legal obligation.
This site provides resources to help university employees create and maintain accessible digital content and services. If you have questions or need to consult with an expert, email the Digital Accessibility Architect.
