In this episode, we share a practical, step-by-step approach to creating digitally accessible course content using a simple workflow—remove barriers, replace inaccessible elements, and remediate what remains. We talk about how to start small (one document, one slide deck, or one LMS page), use built-in accessibility checkers and quick fixes, and address common issues like headings, alt text, color contrast, and tables. We also cover strategies for handling PDFs and specialized formats, plus easy ways to track progress with short work blocks and checklists.

New ADA Title II regulations require public universities to meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards for digital content by 2026. In this episode, instructional consultant, Sarah Guglielmi, explains what that means for faculty and course materials, from Word documents and PDFs to LMS modules and recorded lectures. She shares why accessible design benefits all learners and offers a simple starter plan: focus on one high-impact course, start with one document and one slide deck, and use accessibility checkers to catch quick wins. Plus, learn about campus resources to help you stay on track and make accessibility a habit that improves learning for every student.

Curiosity becomes a catalyst when a university treats innovation as a shared language, not a side path. We sit down with Hadar Borden, Director of the Startup and Innovation Collaboratory at the University at Buffalo, to unpack how a campus-wide ecosystem helps students and faculty turn ideas into impact. Hadar takes us inside a model that blends master classes, innovation sprints, and design challenges with hands-on mentorship from venture coaches, experts and entrepreneurs-in-residence.
