Content Community:Content accessibility workshop

BeginnersIntermediateNew

Are you comfortable writing and editing content? Do you feel ready to make your content more accessible for people with disabilities and improve the overall user experience for everyone?

If you are, we'd like to invite you to join us for this month's content accessibility workshop.

Together we'll work through a piece of your own content, from your website or intranet, to make it more accessible wherever we can. We'll use a handy checklist to help us, which includes:

• heading styles
• text styles
• colours and contrast
• alternative text for images
• captions and transcripts
• internal and external links
• file links and downloads

Please note:

Workshop places are limited. Only book a space if you're sure that you can attend. If you do need to cancel, please cancel 48 hours in advance so that someone else can attend.

• Members of the Content Community
• University website owners and editors
