Join the CTL’s accessibility team as we launch the Spring 2026 Accessible Tech Challenge—a supportive and friendly competition designed to help instructors improve the accessibility and usability of their course materials.
This kick-off luncheon will introduce the challenge structure, outline the accessibility target for participants, and share strategies to help you make steady progress throughout the semester. We’ll also demonstrate how to use Canvas tools to locate outdated or unused content and review the Ally accessibility report to help you identify, prioritize, and address accessibility issues efficiently.
To support continued momentum, we’ll be hosting bi-weekly working sessions throughout the semester, each focused on a specific accessibility topic such as headings, image descriptions, tables, color contrast, and links and lists. These sessions will offer hands-on help so you can work directly on your own course materials with guidance from the CTL team.
All instructors who reach the challenge’s accessibility target will receive a nice prize as a thank-you for helping ensure students can access course materials in ways that work for them.
Whether you’re just getting started or refining existing content, the Accessible Tech Challenge provides community, accountability, and practical tools to help you make meaningful progress.
