Remediation

All ELS, ID, and ELD staff are trained in the basic features and requirements to make most of our course assets accessible. Everyone creating and receiving digital assets should check for accessibility issues and remediate as needed. If you need help, the following resources are available:
  1. Just need extra help? Consider checking with team members.
  2. For help solving routine accessibility issues, submit a ticket to the ELD team
  3. For help with complex accessibility issues, submit a request to the QA team
