Methods: One hundred courses were analyzed 1 year apart for accessibility improvements by nursing faculty. Results: Course accessibility scores significantly rose year after year in almost all courses. Student usage also increased significantly. Lessons learned are presented. Conclusion: Accessibility improvements are worthwhile for enhancing inclusion in nursing programs and student engagement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
