Abstract

Many of the websites, applications, and supporting digital materials that assist students in the online environment are developed by faculty. Unfortunately, literature has indicated that many of these online materials may not be accessible to everyone and subject universities to potential lawsuits. This theoretical article discusses some existing lawsuits and policies with the intention of helping faculty improve educational web compliance. This research can serve as an important step towards the faculty adoption of accessibility evaluation tools and checklists that could result in better and more accessible digital materials.
