Digital accessibility isn't just about compliance; it's about ensuring everyone can access your information, products, and services. Creating accessible digital content improves the experience for all users. In this workshop, you'll learn simple techniques to make your websites, social media posts, documents, videos, and digital communications more accessible. Topics include understanding accessibility, accessibility laws, alternative text for images, accessible social media practices, video captions, color contrast, and document accessibility. Note: Because accessibility laws and regulatory requirements vary by organization and industry, this session provides general educational information and best practices rather than legal guidance.
