Digital accessibility doesn't have to be an exercise in memorizing buttons and acronyms and innumerable rules. In the Accessible Documents Workshop we explore 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 some basic principles of document design.
Accessibility principles apply to a variety of common document formats. In this session, we will explore and demonstrate accessibility 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.
