Let’s raise our community’s awareness and increase access online, in our classrooms, meetings, and events!

Maine CITE Webinar: Creating Accessible Content

Date: March 27, 2024
Time: 1:00 – 2:30 pm ET

Creating accessible content is important for many reasons beyond the possible legal requirements, the information you are sharing can reach more people and it ensures readers do not miss critical information. When content is fully accessible, it benefits people with vision impairments, learning disabilities, color blindness, and many others. Accessibility is important for individuals, businesses, and society.This webinar will discuss the principles of creating accessible content that can be applied to print or digital material, including video, audio, and social media. The presenter will walk you through the steps of creating accessible content using Microsoft Word and PowerPoint on a MacBook Pro. The concepts presented will also carry over to other platforms.

Presenters: Leilani Carlson, Assistive Technology Specialist
