Stylus Publishing and Quality Matters have just released a new book that mi=
ght be of interest to this list: Guide to Digital Accessibility: Policies, =
Practices, and Professional Development<https://styluspub.presswarehouse.co=
m/browse/book/9781642674538/Guide-to-Digital-Accessibility>.

Here is an overview of the book from the publisher=92s site:

Addressed to higher education administrators, instructional designers, facu=
lty developers, and faculty, this edited volume showcases the experiences a=
nd practices of Quality Matters institutions around the core tenets of digi=
tal accessibility, offering examples of policy, processes, practices, tools=
, and professional development. The contributors represent a carefully cura=
ted body of institution types and classifications to ensure that all reader=
s can transfer concepts into the contexts of their respective institutions.

The book situates the digital accessibility movement within the context of =
major federal legislation, such as the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1=
990. It traces the evolution of Web Content Accessibility Guidelines for on=
line course design and professional development based on the Quality Matter=
s framework.

Subsequent chapters describe the evolution of accessibility policy developm=
ent as a driver of organizational culture, as well as a continuum of course=
design practices that can be implemented to proactively develop inclusive =
instructional materials.

The Guide concludes by identifying a myriad of professional development for=
mats for fostering accessibility knowledge and skill acquisition, including=
asynchronous workshops, micro credentials, and train-the-trainer models, s=
haring evaluation protocols that foster continuous improvement.

Written for practitioners by practitioners, this book addresses vital compl=
iance issues and maps a range of proven practices that will enrich the lear=
ning experience of all learners in digital environments.
