Full course description
Every course runs on documents: the syllabus, assignment sheets, rubrics, Canvas pages, slide handouts. Students read them on laptops and phones, often quickly, often looking for one thing. Whether they find it depends less on the writing than on the typography: the typefaces, the sizes, the headings, and the contrast between text and background.
Typography is also where accessibility lives in a document. Heading styles are what screen readers use to navigate; contrast is what makes text readable for students with low vision or on a bright screen; a limited, well-chosen set of typefaces is what keeps a page from looking like a ransom note. The good news is that all of it is learnable in an afternoon, and most of it is a matter of using tools you already have.
