Fix Your Content Day to Recognize Global Accessibility Awareness Day

Description

Each year, the global accessibility community unites on the third Thursday of May for Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) to highlight the need for more inclusive digital content. Accessibility is a journey, not a destination, with the aim of empowering institutions across the globe to build more inclusive learning environments.

This year, Anthology Ally (previously Blackboard Ally) is bringing back Fix Your Content Day, a 24-hour global competition committed to creating accessible and more inclusive digital learning content. The goal for the day is simple: make a positive impact on inclusive learning around the globe.

Work with members of your division to fix and improve the accessibility of your Canvas course materials using the Ally accessibility tool. Use this communications pack to inform and mobilize staff and faculty in your division.
