<p>
The Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) was passed in 2005 with the goal of creating an accessible Ontario by 2025. This legislation is unique because it:
</p>
<ul>
<li class="level1"> applies to both public and private organizations</li>
<li class="level2"> requires obliged organizations to be proactive in identifying, preventing and removing barriers to accessibility</li>
<li class="level2"> shifts the focus from the individual who requires an accommodation and focuses on the obligations of organizations to remove barriers</li>
</ul>

<p>
Any course with an online component needs to accessible, starting as of January, 2012. Some links are below to help you ensure your course is accessible.
