WCAG 2.2 for Higher Ed.
A plain-English accessibility course built for faculty — not web developers.
In 6–8 hours, faculty learn how to build accessible syllabi, slides, quizzes, and course materials. No crash-course in HTML or ARIA. Real examples from actual college classrooms. Completion certificate suitable for professional development credit. Included with every institutional Document Ally Pro license. A second, faculty-focused variant — WCAG 2.2 Teaching Essentials (2–3 hours) — is live now for adjuncts and instructional designers who need the basics fast. Additional compressed variants for administrators and content creators are in development for summer 2026. Training needs sized in your Compliance Roadmap Tool plan flow directly into seat-count quotes.
