Accessibility
When creating digital content, it’s always important to be mindful of your students who may have disabilities. Some best-practices to consider:
1. Avoid using flat graphics (jpegs, etc) as buttons, or as the sole means of communicating on screen.
2. Add in your content in a structured (top-to-bottom, left-to-right) format for screen readers.
