These standards are evolving, and will be provided in more detail later. For the time being, focus on these rules of thumb:
Digital Guidelines
- Avoid handwritten documents
- Find digital versions of photocopied documents, or recreate them
- Use Microsoft products to produce new content for your class when possible
- Use your Microsoft accessibility tools when creating content (styles sheets, bullet/numbers, checker)

- Remember: PDF and .HTM files are easier for your students to open online
- Avoid unnecessary bells and whistles (and color)
- Avoid unnecessary tables
- Avoid unnecessary visual and organizational complexity
- Provide alternate text (alt text) for all images that convey meaning
- Name your hyperlinks
- Caption your video or find video that is already captioned
