PDF Accessibility — Free, Self-Paced Course!
February 19, 2019 - 04:41 PM
Faculty are course designers, constantly creating and curating instructional materials. College staff create and author documents to be shared campus-wide.
Our free, self-paced PDF Accessibility micro-course for California Community Colleges will help faculty and staff determine if their PDF files are accessible, and provide potential resources and strategies to delivering accessible electronic documents.
In this course from our new Accessibility Essentials series, learn how to:
- Determine the best format for delivering content, whether as a PDF, in a Word Doc, or a Canvas page
- Run the Accessibility Checker and interpret its results to determine if a PDF is accessible
- Explain how the Tags Panel is a logical structure tree of a PDF that indicates the reading sequence of the document
- Describe the PDF remediation workflow given a PDF that has no tags
- And more!
