    Creating accessible Distance Education courses is all about making distance learning inclusive for everyone, not just those with disabilities. Our daily challenge is here to help you learn easy tips and tricks to make your courses more accessible for all learners. With nine exciting challenges and a grand finale, you'll have fun while making your content more inclusive. Plus, each challenge you participate in gets you a chance to win some awesome prizes! And the best part? You can complete as many or as few challenges as you like, so join us for a fun and rewarding journey to make learning accessible to everyone. The estimated time per challenge is around 20 minutes, so it won't take up too much of your day. Let's make education accessible and enjoyable for everyone!

    Did we mention prizes? For each challenge you complete, you will be entered into a drawing for a prize. The Challenge is open on May 8th and runs through May 19th. All Lane CC faculty are eligible to participate.
