Accessibility Ambassadors: Create Accessible Google Docs
Join the Accessibility Ambassadors for a presentation by members Amy Drayer, user interface developer from University Libraries; and Khaled Musa, director of the Office for Digital Accessibility.
The University just enabled the ability for everyone to use Grackle Suite to check the accessibility of their Google Docs, Slides, and Sheets. In this presentation, Amy will go over the ins and outs of how to create accessible Google Docs that are usable by everyone. Khaled will provide a demonstration on using Google Docs with a screen reader, and what navigating an inaccessible document is like for screen reader users.
Presenters will demonstrate how to use Grackle Docs to check the accessibility of your documents as you work on making them accessible and usable by everyone. Bring your document, follow along, and learn a few accessibility tips and tricks.
