- Accessibility in documents: Much of the content we create now involves multi-media. Videos, Podcasts, Audio files and images. This workshop brings attendees through the different considerations when creating the different media types.
- Accessibility for multimedia: A lot of material created by academic staff and provided to and used by students in online courses tend to be either MS Office or PDF files. This session will look at MS Word and PowerPoint and how to create better new documents and improve existing documents to provide a better experience for all users.
