We are celebrating Online Accessibility Awareness Week here at SCC, May 26-29. The Faculty Learning Community – Making Online Course Content Accessible – has put together daily tips!
Today’s Tip: Are PDF Documents Accessible?
A common question we field in eLearning is regarding pdfs and accessibility. Many faculty use pdfs in their instructional materials in order to preserve formatting and prohibit editing. Can a pdf be read by a screen reader? The answer is yes, but it takes some work to structure the document such that a screen reader will be able to parse it in a meaningful way. Adobe and Microsoft have both written guides to help create pdfs that are properly “tagged” for screen reader accessibility.
If you want to learn more, join us for a Lunchtime Training Session on campus! We will have pizza and salad to fuel your brain!
