Instructions: If you want to add the content below to your course, use this HTML code. Here is a link for those who need a refresher on using the HTML view in the Rich Content Editor. To change the background color, font colors, or box colors, please refer to "Adding Custom Colors to Boxes While Maintaining Readability" to ensure your color choices are ADA-compliant.

Note: At times, UDOIT flags color usage; therefore, to resolve this issue, I have added the <div class="phpally-ignore"> to the HTML. This allows ADA readers to disregard color, particularly since it does not convey any significance.
