Publishing accessibly on the web
Accessibility is much more than technology! As a web editor, you have a huge responsibility to ensure that the website is accessible to all users. In order to make the content readable and structured for users of assistive technologies and users with special needs, a comprehensive knowledge of accessibility from an editorial perspective is a must.
For whom?
The course is mainly aimed at editors, publishers and information professionals who write on the web.
To get the most out of the course, you should have basic prior knowledge of accessibility, either through our Introduction to Accessibility course, or acquired through other means, such as practical work.
About the course
The course covers why it is important to publish accessibly, who is affected and how to actually publish accessibly.
Course content
During the course we go through, among other things:
- Accessible content
