ºÚÁÏÍø

Making electronic or online content accessible does not need to be intimidating. ºÚÁÏÍø offers training to help understand what accessibility is, best practices and where to find information about making websites and documents accessible to all users.

Accessibility for the Web

Accesssibility for the Web training covers Accessibility HELPS for online and standalone file formats. This is sufficient to ensure employees understand the basics of accessibility for content creators, and is a good start for most people new to accessibility. This training or a similar accessibility introduction is required for access to the Drupal environment. Please see Campus and Software Training page for upcoming training dates.
