Let’s be honest — new accessibility standards are coming fast, and so is the deadline. Between grading, prepping, meetings, and remembering where your coffee went, it can feel like one more thing to manage. But we’ve got your back.

The OER Committee has gathered some tools and resources to help you meet accessibility requirements for your OER efficiently and confidently:

• MOER now has a helpful document outlining accessibility guidance to make sure your materials meet the latest standards.
• MOD Press includes a built-in accessibility checker that can flag potential issues in your content before you publish.
• MCLI has updated its website with new support materials and digital accessibility resources: https://mcli.maricopa.edu/faculty-development/digital-accessibility.
• Members of the OER Committee will also be attending CTLE accessibility office hours once a month to stay current and provide on-the-ground support.

If you have questions about OER or need help navigating OER accessibility tools, please reach out anytime to oer@gccaz.edu. We’re happy to collaborate and help you get what you need — no matter how hectic the calendar looks.

Deadlines come fast, but we’re all in this together. With these tools for your OER, meeting accessibility standards is not only possible but totally doable.
