Accessibility is more than compliance—it’s a habit of mind and a design commitment to all learners. º£½ÇÂÛ̳’s SAIL program helps faculty develop the knowledge and skills to make course content accessible, inclusive, and aligned with updated ADA Title II regulations taking effect in 2026.

Whether you’re designing new materials or refining what you’ve already built, SAIL meets you where you are. Choose from online or in-person options, discipline-specific offerings, or go deeper with our sprint modules in inclusive design.

Available in Canvas July 2025 | Takes approximately 3 hours

Get ready to design with everyone in mind. This self-paced, hands-on course is your go-to guide for making course content that meets digital accessibility standards—while staying true to your teaching style. Whether you’re updating a syllabus, revising slides, or building content in Canvas, SAIL Foundations equips you with tools you can use right away.

By the end of the course, you’ll be able to make your course materials more accessible to all students, align your teaching with federal ADA Title II requirements, and meet evolving instructional expectations at º£½ÇÂÛ̳.

Join us in person for a guided, hands-on version of the SAIL Foundations course. You’ll work directly with your own course materials—syllabi, slides, Canvas pages—and leave with measurable progress toward meeting accessibility goals.

Led by CAFE staff, each session will cover the same foundational material while offering practical support focused on helping you build sustainable, inclusive teaching habits.

SAIL Sprint Modules
For faculty and staff ready to deepen their practice, SAIL offers two self-paced sprint modules focused on inclusive course design. Each module takes about 5 hours and includes short readings, videos, planning templates, and opportunities to apply what you learn directly to your teaching.

TiLT helps students succeed by making learning processes more visible and predictable. This module introduces the TiLT framework, demonstrates how to revise assignments for clarity and purpose, and guides you in creating more transparent course documents.

Key topics include:

• Structuring expectations and learning goals

• Reducing ambiguity for diverse learners

Universal Design for Learning (UDL)
UDL helps you design with flexibility in mind, offering multiple ways for students to engage, learn, and demonstrate understanding. This sprint module walks you through strategies to increase access and autonomy in your course design.

Key topics include:
