Hike the Accessibility Trail
Hike the Accessibility Trail!
Are you feeling overwhelmed by the new ADA Title II accessibility requirements? Don't tackle everything at once. Instead, hike the Accessibility Trail!
This National Park-themed learning journey breaks accessibility into manageable weekly stops, each focused on a single skill. Complete easy hands-on challenges to your own content and explore destinations like Captioning Canyon, Alt Text Waterfall and Heading Heights.
Earn virtual achievement patches throughout the trail. You also will have opportunities to win real prizes and celebrate your accomplishments at a live “Peak Accessibility” event on November 18.
The Accessibility Trail is open for faculty, staff, students or anyone at UofL simply interested in making digital content more accessible.
Peak Accessibility
In addition to our self-paced virtual Accessibility Trail, we invite you to join us for the final stop on the trail–Peak Accessibility. Held on Wednesday, November 18, all participants are welcome to stop by to celebrate their progress, sharpen skills and win real prizes.
You may attend in-person or virtually for one-on-one support, presentations and games. Blackboard representatives will also be joining us in the TILL Classroom location with food and prizes.
Please come and go as you would like anytime between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. ET. on November 18. A detailed schedule will be available soon. Trail participants may join:
- On Belknap Campus: Ekstrom Library, TILL Classroom (3rd Floor). Blackboard will provide food and prizes at this location.
- On Health Sciences Campus: Kornhauser Library, Room 107. We will simulcast with Belknap Campus.
- Virtually: Online via MS Teams.
You don't need to have completed all Accessibility Trail stops–everyone is welcome to attend Peak Accessibility, no matter what level of participation.
Begin your journey on the trail today!
