About this Training
This training was previously called the 8-Day Web Accessibility Challenge.
It was first developed as a voluntary training delivered by email in January 2022, with a companion Microsoft Teams group for participants. Web Services later added it to our website as an on-demand, self-paced training.
The training has since become mandatory for all new website editors. We also strongly encourage website owners and anyone else who contributes webpage content or web documents to the University website to complete this training.
Please disregard any mention in the training videos to the old title, a Microsoft Teams group or OpenText RedDot (UAlbany’s previous content management system).
Some information from this training is sourced from the Web Accessibility Initiative, Siteimprove, Deque University and SUNY Oswego.

The Web Accessibility Training is an asynchronous training program that covers the basics of web accessibility for anyone who edits, manages or contributes to University websites.
There are eight modules, and each takes about 30 minutes total to complete.
Please read each webpage, review each day's resource, watch each video and complete each quiz. You must submit all eight quizzes to complete the training.
