Description
CSCB Accessible series Workshop 1 – Universal Document Accessibility workshop (including Word and Outlook).
In this workshop, we will cover the following:
• Who benefits from accessibility.
• Using templates and Accessibility Checker.
• Using headings (Word and Outlook only).
• “Tagging” text as a specific language.
• PDFs – the accessibility basics.
• Meaningful hyperlinks.
• Making accessible fonts your default.
• Accessible images.
• Accessible SmartArt and tables.
• Accessible colour contrast.
• Writing in everyday language that is clear and concise. (Plain language workshop.)
Workshop 1 is a recommended pre-requisite for this session. Workshop 1 is critical to staff understanding accessibility, and how their everyday actions affect people with different accommodation needs in a positive, or negative, way.
** Accessibility notes:
All trainings are divided into 2 parts: pre-recorded (that we will watch as a group), and interactive.
We have sign language interpretation for the pre-recorded part, but not for the interactive session after. Please connect with the Accessibility Service Centre if you wish to request sign language services for the interactive component.
