Tables

IMPORTANT: This document serves as a practical guide, outlining step-by-step instructions for implementing accessibility features in your course materials. These steps incorporate best practices gleaned from our Inclusive Course Design courses on RIT Talent Roadmap. Familiarity with these practices, applicable to all course materials, is recommended before proceeding with the guide here.
