Course Accessibility

It is the policy of the University of New Orleans (UNO) to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 ("ADA"), ADA Amendments Act of 2008 ("ADAAA"), Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 as amended by the Workforce Investment Act of 1998. The University of New Orleans is committed to providing access to information and services through its technologies and equipment, in an equally effective and integrated manner, regardless of a user's physical or developmental abilities or impairments.

Accessibility Quick Guide

North Carolina State University has compiled a useful guide to common online learning management software and their accessibility characteristics. We thank the IT staff at NC State for their permission to link to this guide.

Accommodation Options

Caption your multi-media

All video media must be captioned. CTI recommends using our Moodle-integrated Panopto video system for all video. Panopto can generate auto-matic captions. Find out more about having Panopto generate automatic captions for your videos.

For live meetings, CTI recommends using Zoom's auto-caption feature.

For assistance with accommodation options for narrated PPTs and non-captioned videos, please contact Amy A. King, Director, Office of Disability Services/Section 504 Compliance Officer.

Set extended times for quizzes

The Moodle Learning Management System has settings options to allow extra time on quizzes and assignments for students needing those accommodations. 

You'll find a User Override option in the Administrative panel after you open a quiz. Set up the extended access there, as explained in this video.
