You have likely heard that new federal accessibility regulations are going into effect in April 2026. To help faculty navigate these complex changes, the OPLR team developed a webinar series to share tools and processes that we are using to support your OPLR courses. Our hope is that you can use these same strategies to address your other courses at the Universities of Wisconsin.  

Below, you can play the recorded webinars and download the handouts. Please reach out to your Disability Services Office, Center for Teaching & Learning, or your department on campus with additional questions – recommendations and requirements may vary!
