Tools and Best Practices for Accessibility in eLearning: Making learning opportunities inclusive to all

Accessibility is an important consideration in any learning resources you develop, and eLearning is no exception. Your course or video could be beautifully designed, super-interactive, and fully personalized, but if some learners can't successfully access the information, it's likely not meeting the needs of your audience.

Whether you are following specific accessibility guidelines or just want to ensure your training is inclusive, join this session to discuss best practices and new ideas for developing accessible learning, and share which tools have built-in features to help support learners with different visual, auditory, mobility and learning needs.

What is a SIG?

A Special Interest Group (SIG) a 60 minute facilitated conversation focused on a specific topic where participants come to reflect, learn, and share with one another. SIGs represent one of the many ways to grow professionally and personally, to network, learn new trends and industry directions, and to take useful information back to your organization.
