Social media plays a vital role in how we share information and connect with our communities—but not everyone can access content equally. This one-hour training will provide a practical overview of digital accessibility in social media, including how to improve color contrast, write meaningful alternative text, and add captions to videos. Participants will also learn best practices for font use, content formatting, and why it’s important to avoid sharing text-heavy PDFs on social platforms.

Registration is required for this event. Register here for Making Social Media Accessible.
