Unit 3 Assignment: Create an Accessible Document

Overview

We should carefully consider why and when to use documents in our courses, and we should ensure that students understand how they can access the document and what software they will need to read and/or use the document. Just as important, however, is providing meaningful instructions to help the student work with the document and to explain the purpose of the document within a learning activity (context). 

Instructions

1. Make your Word, PDF or PowerPoint document/file fully accessible.
2. Upload the document/file to your course Files.

5. Also, within the page, provide links to any software the students will need to open, read, or edit the file (such as, Adobe Reader).
6. Add a link to the document/file on the Content Page.
7. Publish the Content Page.
