Accessible Syllabi and Other Text Documents
The Temple University Course Syllabi Policy (Number: 02.78.13) says, "Students must be provided with a course syllabus in an accessible format…". Ensuring the syllabus and other documents are accessible will make them easier to use with screen readers, if needed. Although the CPH course syllabus template has been checked for accessibility, after editing the syllabus and adding your content to the template, it's a good idea to re-check it before posting it to your Canvas course.
To check documents for accessibility, a few popular applications, such as Word and Acrobat, have built-in accessibility checkers. The checkers identify issues and provide instructions and advice for how to correct any accessibility errors. Click on the links below for more information.
