Program Description
Recorded: May 7, 2025 – Join us for the final webinar on Creating Accessible Content. We will share tips for making social media posts accessible to everyone. We will also talk about the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).
Accessible digital content is designed so a wide range of people and abilities can use your information. This includes people with learning, physical, and vision limitations. More than 70% of Americans use social media to get news and information, stay connected with friends, or for fun. This webinar will present best practices for creating accessible content for social media posts, images, and videos.
We will also provide an overview of the WCAG. These are the international standards for making web content accessible to people with disabilities.
This webinar builds on our previous sessions and will include demonstrations on a MacBook Pro. Don’t miss the chance to make your content accessible to everyone!
