This page lists resources for accessibility for files and documents attached to your website.
While carousels are traditionally seen as a good way to squeeze more content into a limited amount of screen space, studies (see Should I Use a Carousel?) show that site visitors are most likely to ignore anything beyond the first slide, and a poorly built carousel can irritate users, leaving them with negative feelings towards your site and your organization.
From the Office of Information Technology's EIS Quality Assurance Team:
Presently, the EIS Quality Assurance team provides these value-add services to the Institute, both Load Testing and Compliance Testing, at no charge. However, if a requester wishes to learn how to use the many tools in our toolkit, our team can work with the requester until they become proficient. It's more of a consultation and testing service.
The EIS Quality Assurance team has access to over 1000+ mobile handsets for testing the responsive design web site approach.
The following list of resources document the accessibility compliance requirements for Georgia Tech websites. Links are also provided to tutorials for understanding those requirements.

Georgia Tech is legally required to caption any video content and provide transcripts of any audio-only content used on its websites. This includes video and audio content created for academic (classroom) and non-academic (promotional) purposes.
