Getting Started with Digital Accessibility in Teaching and Learning
This guide explains what WCAG 2.1 Level AA actually asks of an instructor and then covers heading structure, alt text, descriptive links, tables, slide formatting, PDF remediation and video captioning in one continuous read. It connects each requirement to the students it affects. It is the right single orientation piece to read first, because it tells you which of your materials are the real problem before you start fixing anything.
