Accessible course design

Desire2Learn is dedicated to developing technology that meets the teaching and learning needs of all clients. We believe that instructional practices should focus on helping people learn, and should not be limited by the learning management system the material is delivered in. We work with interested clients and accessibility groups to continuously improve the usability and accessibility of our products.
