[Athen] Announcement - Free Online Course Accessibility MOOC

[Leyna Bencomo]

I tried creating a new account using the Blackboard page.  Couldn’t do it without a mouse.  The opening page “The Accessibility MOOC” has incorrect heading hierarchy and contrast errors.  Is this MOOC supposed to be accessible?

All,

A new MOOC was recently developed with Marlene Zentz and Aaron Page and hosted by Blackboard which may be of interest to many of you.  The Accessibility MOOC: Inclusive Online Course Design was started to help any instructor across the world learn how to deliver more accessible online courses and content to their students.

The first session of this four-week moderated MOOC will start October 16 and will run until November 10, 2017.

October registration is now open at - http://accessibility.mrooms.net/<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Faccessibility.mrooms.net%2F&data=02%7C01%7Cchristopher.aldin%40blackboard.com%7Cac750832d28e407f964708d4fa0fa9c6%7Cbf0b29a25e5c4aaaba4dac988df15ea6%7C0%7C0%7C636408392558310666&sdata=NXa5N9ohAT1IqxQ0krrxEtHzu2lkJYzYebDdU7KTDBw%3D&reserved=0>.
