The Basic Four of Accessibility

KSU has identified four basic areas of accessibility that we should all employ:

3.   Media Accessibility

  1. Transcripts of audio recordings – How-to video coming
  2. Closed captions of video with timed audio – How-to video coming
  3. Audio descriptions for video where content is communicated only visually – How-to video coming

4.   Accessible Applications

  1. Ensuring third-party applications and content are compliant
    1. Accessibility statements – How-to video coming
    2. Voluntary Product Accessibility Templates (VPATs) – How-to video coming

    University Resources

    New Tool: YuJa Panorama and DocHub

    Starting February 1, KSU will have available a new suite of tools from YuJa, including support for math and science equations.

    Panorama

    Panorama will replace Blackboard Ally in D2L. It will act the same as Ally (providing a graphic indicator of the accessibility level of your document) but will also be able to fix many items within D2L.

    Learn more about Panorama.

    DocHub

    A space outside of D2L where you can upload documents to check for accessibility and fix many issues.

    Check out DocHub now!
