Accessible social media – creating content that reach everyone
What can you do to publish accessibly on social media? In this course you will learn more about how to create posts and other content that reaches more users and also meets legal requirements. You can start immediately with the recorded part of the course. If you want to reinforce your knowledge further, sign up for a teacher-led course day.
