HRSM Digital Accessibility Initiative

The University of South Carolina College of HRSM is committed to offering workshops, resources and support to help faculty and staff create accessible, inclusive digital content for all users.

Updates to Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) will go into effect April 24, 2026, and HRSM is committed to making all digitally transmitted content accessible under the new guidelines. This applies but is not limited to:

  • Websites (e.g., USC's main website and any College-specific websites)
  • Course materials in Blackboard
  • Emails
  • Videos and presentations
  • Office documents and forms

“Accessible” means content is usable by all, such as enabling screen readers to interpret content for those with low vision, or providing video captions for those with hearing impairments.

PDFs without Barriers
PDFs are one of the most common file types shared across courses and websites, but they can also be one of the least accessible if not properly designed. This micro-workshop explores how to create and remediate accessible PDFs, whether you’re exporting from Word, PowerPoint, or scanning existing materials. Learn how to check PDFs for accessibility as well as resources to address the most common errors.
