Beyond the Blockers: Making Online Course Content Accessible

Date & Time

Wednesday, March 15, 2023 - 1:20 PM PST  

Location

Orange County 3-4  

Description

As accessibility consultants for Penn State’s online campus, we’ve found that with increased awareness around how to meet current WCAG requirements it’s time to challenge ourselves and our peers to look beyond the “blockers” and dive deeper into some of the less technical aspects of web accessibility. Our talk will focus on recommendations that can improve the web and online learning for people with a wide range of cognitive and learning disabilities.
