Free Coursera MOOC - Learn the Basics of Developing an Inclusive & Accessible Course

This 5 week course provides instruction and strategies to support you in developing a course that is inclusive to students with a wide range of abilities, including students with disabilities. We cover effective practices to increase inclusion and avoid some of the common accessibility issues that can arise in an online course.

Note that the free version provides access to all course materials. The only limitation is that you will not be able to submit assignments for grading although you are welcome to view and complete the assignments on your own. The pricing for the certificate version of the course is $49.
