Policy

STARS courses are generally created by using Articulate's Storyline and Rise authoring platforms. STARS courses are available to the wider Stanford community including students, staff, and faculty. It is important that these courses are accessible to a wide range of learners. Stanford University's 6.8.1 Accessibility of Electronic Content applies to STARS courses.
