Apply Universal Design to your course
Universal Design is a collection of principles for making an experience for a range of users with consideration to age, ability, size and any other condition that causes them to be more or less successful interacting with the world. It is an approach to design that intentionally means to benefit many individuals and it can be applied to course design.

Many of us use video in our classes, but sometimes we forget that video is a media format that is not as equally accessible to all viewers.

It is our responsibility to take steps to ensure that we make video content accessible for as many of our viewers as possible.
