Making Math and STEM More Accessible: A Resource Guide for Instructors
Math and STEM content can present unique accessibility challenges; from equations and symbols to PDFs, slides, and videos. Accessibility matters not just for equity, but recent Department of Justice (DOJ) accessibility updates underscore the need for accessible digital content.
To help with making your course materials accessible, LEDstudio created the Math and STEM Accessibility Resource Guide, a step-by-step resource that shows how to apply best practices efficiently, using examples and workflows you’ll encounter in your courses.
Inside the guide, you’ll find:
- Clear steps for creating accessible math and STEM content.
- Guidance for equations, notations, documents, slides, PDFs, and videos.
- Practical strategies that support equitable access for all learners.
Accessibility doesn’t have to be overwhelming or time-consuming. Even small, intentional changes can make a meaningful difference in how students access and engage with content – particularly learners who rely on assistive technologies.If you have any questions about accessibility, you can connect with an instructional designer at LEDstudio by dropping in via Zoom during our Open Office Hours on Tuesday and Wednesday from 12–2 PM.
