IT Accessibility: The Big Picture Writ Midsized

Technology accessibility standards have existed since the 1990s. However, most websites, applications, videos, documents, and devices used in higher education remain inaccessible. How can this problem be solved? Through the example of the University of Montana, this interactive session will investigate the roles we all play in addressing these issues. We will consider an awareness of the accessibility challenges continuing to face higher education, successful strategies for addressing IT accessibility issues, and renewed motivation to engage in the work of providing universally accessible IT.

OUTCOMES:
Gain an awareness of the accessibility challenges continuing to face higher education. | Learn successful strategies for addressing IT accessibility issues. | Renew motivation to engage in the work of providing universally accessible IT.
