This is a very good resource for accessible learning. The website provides simple yet effective ways to make courses easier to navigate and gives students ample amount of opportunity to learn in a clear, concise environment. I especially like the examples included with each step, making the content very understandable.

This resource provides 10 steps towards accessibility that will have a great impact on the classroom. Each step has clear directions, suggested practices, and extra resources. This does a good job of efficiently explaining the process, but the reader needs to appreciate that implementing will take time.
