Description

Educational institutions today face a critical yet often neglected challenge: ensuring the accessibility of their digital documents. These documents are produced en masse and can unintentionally become obstacles when shared on websites or intranets. This session explores effective strategies that leading educational bodies are implementing to guarantee that documents are accessible from the outset and are thoroughly tested before being delivered to students. Tools commonly used in educational settings, such as Microsoft Office, while supportive of accessibility, may contribute to the creation of inaccessible documents if used improperly. So, how should an educational organization catalog and manage its extensive digital documentation? We will introduce a solution to the overwhelming task of making a large number of documents accessible. With this system in place, educators and content creators will be equipped to independently ensure the accessibility of their materials. Allyant’s session highlights how educational institutions should approach auditing and remediation to create a winning accessibility program. We invite you to join us as we uncover the path towards developing a robust accessible document strategy, creating benchmarks for the broader educational community to follow.
