UW Bothell IT Academic & Collaborative Technology in partnership with?UW-IT Accessible Technology Services offer a variety of accessibility services for the UW Bothell campus. If you have any questions or to set up an appointment, please email Ana Thompson, stop by during our Accessibility Drop In Hour on Wednesdays, 10:30 to 11:30 AM via Zoom or schedule some time using our Bookings page.

Workshops

We offer group or individual staff training on creating accessible documents, learning about universal design, accessibility in Canvas, PDF accessibility, etc. To request a workshop for your group, email Ana Thompson.

Canvas course accessibility assessments

We offer accessibility assessments for Canvas courses where we work with a faculty member to do training and review course files, content or design to determine actions needed. This process may take at least 2 weeks to get started and it is set up on a first come, first serve basis. We work in partnership with faculty to assess content and make recommendations to improve the accessibility of a Canvas course.
To get started, submit a Request for an Accessibility Assessment (UW login is required).

Online training

Accessibility 101, our online training option offered in Canvas, is a self-paced course that offers a set of five modules with quizzes and some optional content. 真人线上娱乐se modules can be studied in order for a more scaffolded experience, but individual topics can also be accessed as needed.
