Countdown to 2027: Digital Accessibility Basics

Countdown to 2027: Digital Accessibility Basics promotional image

Digital accessibility doesn't have to be an exercise in memorizing buttons, acronyms, and innumerable rules. A few basic skills and practices can help you make many kinds of digital content more accessible.

Digital Accessibility Basics introduces practical accessibility skills that apply across documents, websites, course content, presentations, social media, and other digital content. We'll look at common accessibility issues, demonstrate ways to address them, and explore tools that can help you check your work.

These skills are simple to learn and use — and you may already use many of them without realizing how they contribute to accessibility.

The University of Iowa continues to prepare for federal digital accessibility compliance expectations under Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act, with enforcement beginning in April 2027. Join us to learn practical skills you can start using right away to make your digital content more accessible.

Registration is requested for this session.
