Accessibility by Design: Guiding Accessible Practices in Platforms and Materials

• In Event: Accessibility by Design: Guiding Accessible Practices in Platforms and Materials

Short Description

Evaluating platforms and materials for accessibility up front eliminates frustration and lost time when it counts most. Participants should bring their computers to this Inspire! session, in which we will complete an accessibility review of Canvas LMS pages using a checklist of relevant WCAG requirements. Attendees will become familiar with WCAG resources and standards, gain experience recognizing and correcting inaccessible design, and be guided in building a framework to implement accessibility in their design process.
