This hands-on workshop leads participants through three of the Seven Core Skills for digital accessibility: Headings, Lists, and Links. While these aren't difficult skills to learn, incorporating them into our daily workflows in CarmenCanvas does take practice. Together, we'll apply WCAG 2.1 AA standards and review the Ally scanner reports for these three core skills to Canvas Announcements and Pages to get in the habit of creating accessible communication even for quick messages. Participants should be ready to work on sample CarmenCanvas Announcements and Pages during the session; we recommend using a laptop or desktop instead of a tablet.
After this workshop participants will be able to:
- name and describe the Seven Core Skills for Digital Accessibility
- practice using accessible Headings, Lists, and Links to a CarmenCanvas Announcement using the Ally scanner as support
- identify which Core Skills are most important for their course or discipline and will be able to assess their comfort in using these Skills
