Online Accessibility Week Daily Tip: Creating Accessible Word Documents

May 27, 2015 by Leave a Comment

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!

Wed., May 27 we are expecting 350-400 high school and middle school students from 23 regional schools to attend the Northwest Association for Biomedical Research’s (NWBAR) Student Bio Expo on our campus. Busses will start arriving with students outside the #1000 building at 7:45 a.m., and the students will be on campus until around 2 p.m. So welcome these potential future SCC students to our campus if you see them!

This is the 15th annual NWBAR Expo. The mission of the Student Bio Expo is to promote an understanding of bioscience research among high school students. We provide access to scientific resources and engage students in creative ways to demonstrate their knowledge of the disciplines of biotechnology and biomedicine. By connecting students, teachers, scientists, and the general public, we strengthen our life sciences community.
