Virtual Event Accessibility Standards focuses on equipping participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to create inclusive virtual and hybrid events. The course delves into the principles and practices that ensure accessibility for all attendees, including those with disabilities. Participants will engage in hands-on projects that emphasize real-world applications, allowing them to develop actionable strategies for enhancing accessibility in various event formats.
The curriculum covers essential topics such as the legal frameworks surrounding accessibility, the use of assistive technologies, and best practices for designing engaging and inclusive virtual experiences. By the end of the course, participants will have a comprehensive understanding of how to implement accessibility standards effectively, culminating in a final project that showcases their ability to design a fully accessible virtual event.
