Accessibility ensures that all students can equally access, use, and understand learning content. Additional accommodation needs may arise in online learning environments.

Whether a course is taught in person or online, course materials should be accessible to all students.  In addition, for online instruction, Cornell offers an array of services to support faculty including:

• CTI can consult on ways to use specific tools (captioning video recordings, providing alternate text for images, and more) to facilitate accessibility in an online learning environment
• the library can help identify teaching materials that are already fully accessible as well, and in many cases, the judicious choice of such materials greatly alleviates accessibility issues
