Digital Accessibility as a right - FHEDAWG guest webinar with Greg Gay

 Registration is closed for this event

This webinar is organised by ALT as part of our work with the Further Higher Education Digital AccessibilityWorking Group (FHEDAWG). This time we welcome a special guest: Greg Gay is IT Accessibility Specialist at Ryerson University and shares this project from the Creative Commons Global Summit. 

Barriers in digital information can prevent people with disabilities from participating as full members of society. It’s surprising that digital accessibility practices are still rarely taught as part of formal education. Digital accessibility is integral to enabling all learners in today’s information society. Teaching digital accessibility as part of college and university curriculum is important.
    
To fill the gap, Ryerson University has created five practical online courses and corresponding interactive, modular, and open textbooks aimed at raising awareness of digital accessibility globally.
