The Importance of Accessibility at Michigan State University

Michigan State University is committed to providing inclusive and accessible learning experiences to all students. Accessible learning experiences are those that provide equal opportunity to students with disabilities. Digital technology and content that is used in classrooms may not be usable in an equally effective way by all of your students. It is important to consider how to design quality experiences that can engage all students. MSU strives to provide accessible learning experiences to all, and also recognizes the importance of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504 of the US Rehabilitation Act of 1973. The Web Accessibility Policy helps to articulate MSU’s commitment to students with disabilities.

This “Importance of Accessibility at Michigan State” video elaborates on MSU’s commitment to students with disabilities. It also points to resources that are available to instructors.

Recognizing the importance of accessibility for persons with disabilities, members of the MSU community have created resources to help guide instructors to make learning more accessible.
