Accessibility & Digital Assets: Blackboard

A resource to help you create accessible digital assets for your courses.

General Information

There are a few guidelines you should follow when creating your course in Blackboard:

  • Organize your course consistently section to section. Use consistent headers, labels and reference to materials in each section, topic or week.
  • Consider putting documents in at least two (2) formats. Giving several versions (Word, HTML, PDF and plain text) can cover most needs.
  • Name links to files (e.g. Word, PPT or Excel) and videos the same as the title of the file. 
  • Refer to the Best Practices for Online Course Design as you create your course.
