What is accessibility?
Accessibility is the process of identifying, removing, and preventing barriers to an equitable experience for all users. In a teaching and learning context, we want to identify, remove and prevent barriers to an equitable student learning experience.
Why does accessibility matter?
Accessibility in teaching and learning creates educational experiences, including the materials, media, spaces, that are barrier-free for the widest range of users and the widest range of technology. By planning up front to prevent or remove barriers to learning, you avoid time consuming retrofits later, create a more positive learning environment for all, and get to explore creative design solutions.
What is the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA)?
The AODA outlines accessibility standards that impact organizations across Ontario, including Fleming College. Using the standards in the Act as a framework, Fleming College decides how to best meet or exceed those standards through accessibility planning.
