Texas Digital Learning Association

24 DAYS until the April 24, 2026 WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline.

If your courses aren't accessible yet, this is your final opportunity to get trained—with sessions spanning before, during, and after the deadline.

TxDLA Faculty Digital Accessibility Micro-Courses
April 13 - May 8, 2026

Four focused one-week modules designed for busy faculty and instructional designers:
📍 April 13-17: Essential Accessibility (before deadline)
📍 April 20-24: Multimedia & Empathy (ends ON deadline day)
📍 April 27-May 1: Advanced Content (post-deadline)
📍 May 4-8: Digital Environments (sustainable compliance)

Led by Lynn Cagle, TxDLA's first Advanced Accessibility Certification recipient with 10+ years leading accessible course design at Texas A&M University.

Why this works:
→ Just 1 hour/day—manageable during your busiest month
→ Discussion-based: work on YOUR actual course materials
→ Expert feedback on your specific accessibility challenges
→ Take individual modules or complete all 4
→ Limited to 20 participants

After April 24, non-compliant courses expose institutions to legal risk and deny students equitable access.

$200/module or $700 for all 4
