- Develop a certification program: Develop a certification program that includes training and testing to ensure that all staff involved in creating and maintaining digital content know accessibility requirements.
- Encourage participation: Encourage all staff creating and maintaining digital content to participate in the certification program. This includes web developers, content creators, and instructional designers.
- Provide support: Support staff participating in the certification program, such as access to training materials and resources.
- Integrate certification into job descriptions: Integrate certification into job descriptions to ensure that all staff involved in creating and maintaining digital content meet accessibility requirements.
- Monitor compliance: Monitor compliance with accessibility requirements and certification program completion to ensure that your campus is inclusive and accommodates students with disabilities.
