This plan should include:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>How you will educate everyone who will be creating content on how to do so with accessibility in mind (feel free to send them to this training!)<\/li>\n<li>How you will review any content you already have to ensure that it is accessible (we have a <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/webworkshops\/accessibility-training\/accessibility-checklist\/\">checklist in Module 6<\/a> that you may use)<\/li>\n<li>How you will ensure that new content is created with accessibility in mind\n<ol style=\"list-style-type: lower-alpha;\">\n<li>While educating content creators is an essential part of this, you might want to also consider a process for reviewing new content with accessibility in mind<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Your plan should also include timeline goals to complete these tasks.
