Creating and providing accessible materials is about inclusion, equity, and social responsibility. With Ontario’s commitment to be a fully accessible province by 2025 through the implementation of the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA), knowing how to create accessible learning materials and documents is crucial!

Join us for our 2-week interactive asynchronous online micro-credential Foundations of Creating Accessible Content. In this foundational course, we will review and apply the accessibility guidelines and requirements applicable to creating digital content and consider their practical application in creating your content. This course gives you an opportunity to consider accessibility in a hands-on way, evaluate digital content, and learn how to fix it.

After successful completion of this course, you will walk away with strategies and resources to help with making your digital content accessible as well as a micro-credential badge in Foundations of Creating Accessible Content.

Foundations of Creating Accessible Content is being offered Nov. 4 – 17, 2024.

Please note: This is a two-week course. This course contains asynchronous content and assessments and one mandatory synchronous session on Monday, Nov. 11, 2024 from 1:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Eastern.
