How-To Guides
Creating accessible digital content is easiest when accessibility is considered from the start. SUNY Onondaga Community College supports ongoing learning by providing guidance and resources to help faculty and staff create and maintain accessible digital content.
The resources below link to step-by-step accessibility tutorials developed by SUNY Oswego. These guides walk through best practices and practical techniques for creating accessible digital content across a variety of formats. While the tutorials are hosted by SUNY Oswego, the principles and instructions apply broadly and can be used by SUNY Onondaga Community College faculty and staff to support inclusive, accessible communication.
