Publishing-accessibly on the web
Accessibility is much more than just technology! As a web editor, you have a major responsibility to make the website accessible to all users. Making the content readable and structured for users of assistive technology and users with differing abilities requires basic knowledge of accessibility from the editor's point of view.
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.
