Web accessibility for writers and editors

Focus on needs of writers, editors

The course focuses on the training needs of writers and editors, to help them produce content that meets the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0.For government departments and agencies, this is an important part of the National Transition Strategy (a plan for compliance with the Guidelines).

How we will teach this workshop

In each section of the workshop after the introduction to accessibility we will:

• Introduce the relevant guidelines (called ‘success criteria’) and explain their benefits
• Show examples of how to meet or fail the guideline
• Discuss writing and content design techniques writers should be aware of
• Demonstrate any relevant accessibility tools

Participants will do an exercise for each of the main modules..
