An estimated 11 percent of undergraduate students on campuses today have a disability. Ensuring that these students have equal access to technology is a complex challenge, requiring a coordinated effort across campus departments. Universities must maintain compliance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 AA, which is considered the standard for measuring web accessibility.
Attend this web seminar to learn from administrators at Michigan State and Northern Virginia Community College about how to take a campuswide approach to develop proactive web accessibility strategies. Learn how to share resources, take advantage of new tools that enhance accessibility and improve workflow, and ensure that your campus is WCAG 2.0 compliant and meeting the needs of students with disabilities.
Topics will include:
- Insights from Northern Virginia Community College and Michigan State University about proactive web accessibility strategies, including tips to share budget and resources campuswide to become WCAG 2.0 compliant
- New tools that enhance accessibility plans and improve workflow of disability services, instructional designers, and web content editors
- Strategies to reduce time spent on manual PDF document conversion by 60 percent
- Why WCAG 2.0 AA HTML is a viable alternative format for many universities
