Preventing the digital accessibility scavenger hunt

Online and virtual learning remain an integral part of higher education. As we continue to spend much of our time in digital environments, understanding and practicing digital accessibility is more critical than ever. It’s imperative to provide campus personnel with tools and resources that help them learn how to remove potential barriers of digital materials. Finding the information we need to implement digital accessibility shouldn’t have to be a scavenger hunt! In this session, Kate DeForest offers ideas and suggestions on how to create a digital accessibility hub. An accessibility hub is an institutional website that serves as an all-encompassing source to help answer digital accessibility questions and direct people to the information they need. We’ll talk about what information to gather and how to present it in the most comprehensive manner so our website visitors don’t have to go on a scavenger hunt.
