Request Your Review
- Authors submit a OER Accessibility Review Request for each chapter. Submission triggers emails to oer@utsa.edu and digitalaccessibility@utsa.edu.
- OER is reviewed for accessibility by the OER Team and the Digital Accessibility Team. Turnaround for each review is dependent on the length and unique needs of each OER.
- During the review:
- Formatting issues are noted on a spreadsheet and shared with the author.
- Content issues are noted on a spreadsheet for authors to review and correct.
- Once review is complete, the OER Coordinator shares the spreadsheet as a SharePoint file with author.
- Authors have two months to correct issues if OER is already published.
- For OER in progress, authors must correct issues before publishing OER and before OER is used in the course.
- Once all of the fixes to the book have been made, the author will add the Accessibility Statement as a front matter item to their book.
