Although instructors and staff understand the need to create accessible content, many report feeling intimidated or concerned about mastering new “advanced” skills needed create accessible documents that provide formatting options instructors or academic units would like to use. To provide a starting point to build accessible documents, such as a syllabus, Penn State created a repository of customizable Word templates that faculty and staff can use for syllabi and other files including homework assignments and reports. As training sessions note, templates not only increase document accessibility, but also allow editors and writer to more efficiently format content for different needs.
