Looking for an easy way to Level Up! accessibility in your online course? Join us for a four‑week challenge, starting March 2, designed to make accessibility improvements simple and doable—one small step at a time.

How it works: Each week, you’ll receive two short prompts with:

  1. a quick overview of one accessibility topic,
  2. a bite‑sized action you can complete in minutes, and
  3. recommendations for planning ahead for next semester.

Whether you’re new to accessibility or already familiar, the Challenge offers practical wins that fit your schedule, as well as the opportunity to earn a certificate for successful completion.

The challenge is open to CUNY SPS faculty and staff, and you can sign up by enrolling in the Level Up! Accessibility Challenge Brightspace site. The site will open on March 2, but sign up now to join!
