Adding an accessible template package to your unit files
D2L has designed a template package that unit instructors can use to create accessible, HTML content files. The templates use cascading style sheets (CSS) to format the content in the HTML files.
To the extent possible under law, D2L has waived all copyright and related or neighboring rights to the available accessibility templates. You can use these files in a single unit, or for the whole organization through Shared Files, depending on your permissions.
If you upload the template package and unzip it within Connect, it is structured properly and the sample files correctly reference the CSS file. If you choose only some of the available templates within the package to upload, you might need to recreate the folder structure for the files to correctly reference the CSS file.
All the template packages use the same folder structure and name, which makes it easy to swap out your CSS file for different CSS files if you want to change the appearance of your unit content.
Download the template package from the Brightspace Community.
