What is Fix Your Content Day?

Together, we’ll aim to fix as many accessibility issues and course files in WVU eCampus as possible using a tool called Anthology Ally. Every fix—big or small—contributes to a more inclusive learning environment for WVU students. Those teaching in SOLE are also welcome to attend.

How you can help:

• Review your courses for red and orange indicators in Anthology Ally
• Focus on quick wins like adding image descriptions or improving Microsoft Word documents
• Stop by one of our locations on November 18 and work with help nearby
