Description

Have you ever wondered what you need to do to ensure that the message you’re sending is accessible to everyone who needs to receive it? What do you need to know in order to make sure that newsletters, web pages, and other documents are accessible to all? Accessibility awareness is on the rise, but it can still be challenging to know what to do and how to do it, especially for those new to the topic. The respective co-chairs of the EDUCAUSE IT Accessibility and IT Communications CGs invite you to participate in a combined session to learn more about how to share your messages with everyone.
