Creating accessible course materials doesn’t have to be overwhelming—and one of the best places to start is with headings. Clear, consistent heading structure not only improves readability for all students, but it’s also essential for screen readers and other assistive technologies to interpret digital content correctly.

If you missed TILT’s recent Accessibility Skill Sprint: Headings event, or want to revisit the key takeaways, we’ve compiled everything you need to get started.

The downloadable Accessible Headings handout offers a quick overview of best practices, including how to apply heading styles in Word, PowerPoint, and Canvas. You’ll also find three short, focused videos that walk through practical examples in each platform—designed to fit into your busy schedule and give you the confidence to begin or continue your accessibility journey.

Whether you’re brand new to accessibility or working toward the Developing level of CSU’s Electronic Accessibility Rubric, these resources are a simple, impactful way to improve your course content and better support all learners.
