# Session synopsis
## Penn State Accessible Syllabus Templates for Microsoft Word
Elizabeth J. Pyatt, Ph.D. IT Accessibility Consultant / Lead Trainer and Mary Ann Tobin, Ph.D. Associate Research Professor & Instructional Consultant

With Anthology Ally it's easy to understand how accessible course content is, but what are the next steps to fix it? 

The Penn State Word templates are designed to help faculty easily create accessible Word files but use formatting appealing to instructors.  

This session will demo the templates and discuss training and outreach efforts at Penn State. This session will be valuable regardless of whether you use the Ally tool at your institution.
