What Is C.A.L.M.?
Choosing Accessible Learning Materials (C.A.L.M.) is a proactive approach to course design that supports the principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL). UDL promotes inclusive teaching by anticipating the diverse needs of students and removing barriers to learning before they arise.

Making It Accessible
Starting April 24, 2026, all digital materials must meet digital accessibility standards (WCAG 2.1 Level AA).
- Prioritize new materials. Make sure anything you create or update from this point forward meets WCAG 2.1 Level AA guidelines. As you finalize your Spring 2026 courses and begin developing Summer 2026 courses, please design or edit to meet these standards.
- Use YuJa Panorama. Let the tool scan your content and guide you to the most important fixes.
- Keep improving over time. Each step you take now reduces the workload later and ensures your students can fully engage.
- Use this WCAG checklist to identify the standards you will need to meet.
- Review these Accessibility FAQs.
- View the Accessibility Resource Hub, to learn how to meet each WCAG standard.
Accessibility is not optional, but with steady progress, it doesn’t have to be overwhelming.
