We’re excited to announce that in April, Berkeley will launch its own Siteimprove account. We are confident this will provide the best possible user experience for our community.

Currently, we share one Siteimprove account with all of the UC campuses, under UCOP’s license. Due to the vast number of websites and web pages across all of the UC locations in the UCOP account , Siteimprove has been sluggish to say the least. Additionally, we were limited in our ability to customize settings and service management to better meet Berkley’s unique needs.

The Digital Accessibility Program (DAP) is excited to announce the launch of our accessibility workshop series! Sessions will take place every Tuesday and Thursday from 10 - 11 a.m. starting next week through the end of the year. Each virtual session will begin with 20-minute presentations on the topics listed below, followed by open office hours with our accessibility specialists. Bring your accessibility questions!

As we complete the first web content compliance deadline of the Consent Decree with the US Department of Justice (audio and video published since Dec. 2, 2022), we want to congratulate individuals, units and departments who have adopted digital accessibility practices and demonstrated their dedication to accessibility.

In the last few months, the response and engagement regarding audio and video accessibility has been positive and inspirational.  The Digital Accessibility Program wants to highlight a few amazing folks and say thank you for leading by example.
