Digital accessibility doesn't have to be an exercise in memorizing buttons and acronyms and innumerable rules. Just learning a few core skills can help you to attain a practical understanding of accessibility across a spectrum of technologies and content types. Nearly any digital document can be made more accessible simply by understanding seven core skills of document design.
The core skills apply to a variety of common document formats. In this session, we will explore and demonstrate the Core Skills in multiple contexts including SiteNow (Drupal), ICON (Canvas), Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, PDF, and social media. Participants will learn techniques for creating more accessible documents, and the accessibility tools and features specific to each format. These skills are simple to learn and understand--better yet, you may already know and use many of them without realizing how they contribute to document accessibility.
