Este artículo presenta la iniciativa del Tarrant County College Connect Campus para mejorar la accesibilidad en cursos en línea y comunicaciones. Destaca los desafíos de cumplir con las regulaciones de accesibilidad estatales y federales en la educación superior y los impactos legales, financieros y humanos del incumplimiento. Se discute la tasa desproporcionadamente baja de adaptaciones para estudiantes con discapacidades en colegios de dos años en comparación con instituciones de cuatro años. Se introduce el Mapa de Accesibilidad del TCC Connect Campus (CAR) como un enfoque integral para crear entornos de aprendizaje accesibles, incluyendo planes de mejora continua para alinearse con regulaciones cambiantes y nuevas tecnologías.
