Digital Accessibility Audits for Schools

Digital Accessibility Audits for Schools provides participants with the essential skills and knowledge to evaluate and enhance the accessibility of digital resources in educational settings. This course emphasizes practical, project-based learning, enabling participants to conduct thorough audits of digital platforms and tools used in schools. By focusing on real-world applications, learners will develop actionable strategies to ensure that educational content is accessible to all students, including those with special needs.
Participants will engage in interactive sessions that cover a wide range of topics, from understanding accessibility standards to implementing effective solutions. The course culminates in a final project where learners will perform a digital accessibility audit for a school or educational program, presenting their findings and recommendations. This hands-on approach not only reinforces the learning objectives but also encourages participants to publish their results in Cademix Magazine, contributing to the broader discourse on accessibility in education.
