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: Creating Accessible Word Documents
According to the Office of Special Services here at SCC, one of the greatest needs for students with disabilities is that instructional documents be free from accessibility barriers. This would include syllabi as well as other course materials. Happily, Microsoft Word has the ability to quickly check documents for issues that people with disabilities might experience. Portland Community College has pulled together a nice resource that includes checking for accessibility issues in both MS Word and PowerPoint files.
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!
