Encore in the archive
Occasionally we get requests from faculty and staff to access past #3ThingsWorthSharing editions several months after their original distribution.
While links in #3ThingsWorthSharing emails do not stay active past 60 days, you can find an archive of each issue with active links on the ITSS website (z.umn.edu/thingsworthsharing) and at the bottom of every ThingsWorthSharing email.
Using the archive, educators can re-read or share tips and resources from past #3ThingsWorthSharing editions weeks, months, or years after the first issue was distributed.
Make your course accessible with the 3Rs
The Office of Digital Accessibility recently published the 3Rs framework: Remove, Revise, Right First
The R’s will assist the University Community in approaching the DOJ Title II digital accessibility deadline, April 2026.
Looking to learn about the 3R’s and what you can do to start with your spring semester Canvas course? Join one of the Spring Semester and Accessibility Jumpstarts on December 17, 18, and 19. Our full team of ITSS Academic Technologists and Course Designers will be available to interpret the 3R’s and help you define priorities and strategies to create new pathways for developing digital accessible content.
