Descriptive file names help students and the public quickly identify content and improve navigation in shared drives, learning platforms, and email attachments.
Digital accessibility begins with awareness and action across the UMB community. New federal regulations that take effect in April 2027 require public universities, including UMB, to ensure that their websites, course content, digital documents, and online tools are accessible to the public and students with disabilities to access our programs, services, and activities. We will be sharing information and tips in “The Elm Weekly.”
Accessible file organization benefits students and the public using assistive technologies. Descriptive file names help users quickly identify content and improve navigation in shared drives, learning platforms, and email attachments.
Use clear naming conventions, organize folders logically, and avoid abbreviations that may be confusing. Consistent file organization supports accessibility, collaboration, and long-term document management.
Review your shared files and folder structures for clarity and accessibility.
