I have added an appropriate Alt attribute and/or captioning to all images.

Online Materials

The online resources I use in my class are accessible to all students.

Screen Reader Friendly Wording

I have avoided wording such as "click here" or "select this" used on my webpages or LMS.
I have avoided abbreviations when possible.
I have used specific titles for assignments such as "Week One Assignment" instead of more generic terms such as "Weekly Assignments".
