IMPORTANT: This document serves as a practical guide, outlining step-by-step instructions for implementing accessibility features in your course materials.

Familiarity with these practices, applicable to all course materials, is recommended before proceeding with the guide here.  

Google App is designed to work with screen readers, braille devices, screen magnification, and more. However, it is recommended to use caution when sharing Google Docs/Slides outside of the Google platform, such as exporting or converting to PDF, since the documents created in it are not as accessible as those created in Microsoft Word.

Whenever possible, use simple tables in Google Docs or Slides so that assistive technology users can navigate them easily.
