Digital Accessibility Series Session 2: Digital Accessibility for Text-Based Resources
Facilitator: Britt Peterson.
Description: Text-based materials remain at the core of most courses—syllabi, handouts, readings, assignments—and small choices in formatting can make or break student access. This workshop focuses on creating accessible text documents across common platforms like Word, PDF, and PowerPoint. We’ll walk through essential practices such as using headings correctly, improving readability, crafting alt text, structuring documents for screen readers, and avoiding common accessibility pitfalls. Faculty will leave with practical techniques and templates to ensure their course materials are usable for all learners from the start.
