You can also Review the WebCampus Instructor Start of the Semester Checklist and the new Panopto Start of the Semester Checklist to prepare your courses. Remember that

NEW! – Ally Accessibility Tool in WebCampus

Ally is a new tool now integrated with WebCampus that scans your course content and measures the accessibility of each file (both published and unpublished) in your course. This guide contains information on how to use Ally within WebCampus to help improve the usability and accessibility of your content. 


The Office of Online Education and The Office of Accessibility Resources are teaming up to provide support for you. Please stay tuned in the weeks to come for additional information on Ally webinars, face-to-face training, and 1:1 support that will be offered this fall!
