Good day!

There is an open source project called SALSA – Styled & Accessible Learning Services Agreement. I am passing along some information about this project on behalf of George Joeckel who is one of the developers, as he isn’t presently on this discussion list. Please see below and reach out to George directly if you have any questions….

Hi everyone,

Is anyone using an accessible course syllabi template they’d be willing to share with us so we could modify it for our own use. We have instructors who create their syllabi using the tab key in place of tables, and this makes for a not very accessible syllabus.

Thanks for any help or ideas.

Russell
