Welcome to "Accessibility in Digital Environments" (a self-study resource)

Start

Welcome to this online resource for creating accessible digital learning environments. This course/resource is meant to be both a course where you can progress stepwise and a resource to return to as needed. You can start at any time and progress at your own pace.

Aim

The purpose of this online resource is to guide you in making accessible digital learning environments (for example digital course rooms and accessible documents).

The content in this resource covers

Legal requirements for digital accessibility
How to make your material accessible
How to create accessible Word, PowerPoint and PDF documents.
Accessibility for moving image and audio files.

You can use this resource in two different ways,

as a self-study course where you work through the different parts systematically from beginning to end,
as a reference where you go directly to the section which is most relevant for you at a particular time.

As this material is intended to be a resource to return to as a reference, some instructions are repeated. This is because you should not have to search through the sections to find the information you need. All information and instructions are brief and you are instead given links to more and in-depth information.
