Accessible Technology Initiative (ATI)
The CSU Accessible Technology Initiative (ATI) is the effort by the California State University (CSU) system to ensure that information and communication technology (ICT) is accessible to all students, faculty, staff, and the wider community. ICT includes websites, computer software and hardware, and multimedia such as video.
The ATI focuses on three areas:
- Instructional materials: documents, multimedia, Canvas courses (LMS), etc.
- Procurement: purchases of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT)
- Web: the CSUF web environment and domain, as well as web-based ICT, including instructional materials
The California State University (CSU) is committed to providing a diverse and supportive academic and work environment that facilitates learning, teaching, working and conducting research for all students, employees and visitors. It is CSU policy to ensure that individuals with disabilities shall have equal access to and the opportunity to participate in CSU programs, activities and services. – (E.O. 1111)
