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 Workplace Wellness Service Centre if you wish to request sign language services for the interactive component.
