Session Type: Professional Development
Participants will get a glimpse into our project to implement system-wide web accessibility across 27 higher education institutions in the state of Oklahoma. We will discuss opportunities and challenges with campus-wide accessibility initiatives and collaboration across disparate campus units, and demonstrate an innovative software tool that shapes the conversation about accessibility policy and procedures.
