Digital Accessibility: Learn How
We interact with digital content all the time in our personal and professional lives, and there are all kinds of people with all kinds of abilities and devices who explore the work we present on the web, in documents, and in courses we offer. The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) created the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) to help us learn to create content in a way that makes it easier for anyone—regardless of ability or device—to access content.
General Accessibility Training
Learning about WCAG can be intimidating, but there are many ways to learn more about digital accessibility and increase inclusivity.
