Welcome to CIEL’s Designing for All: A Toolkit for Maximum Digital Impact.

This support resource was written for instructors at VIU who would like to make their VIULearn courses and learning materials as accessible as possible.

We would like to acknowledge that we are not experts in this field, but recognize its importance. This book is the beginning of our efforts to learn more and assist the university community. We will continue to add to our knowledge and share it here in subsequent editions of this text.

We would also like to acknowledge that we relied heavily on the the BCcampus Accessibility Toolkit – 2nd Edition while creating this book. The BCcampus Accessibility Toolkit – 2nd Edition is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License, as is our resource. This makes them open educational resources (OER).

Open educational resources (OER) are defined as teaching, learning, and research resources that, through permissions granted by the copyright holder, allow others to use, distribute, keep, or make changes to them. We encourage you to explore other OER that are available on the BCcampus OpenEd Resources page.
