About the Session:

This event is a part of the OER Production Series and represents part one in our exploration of accessibility and Universal Design for Learning (UDL) in open educational resources (OER).OER Production Series

In this webinar, we will introduce how to design OER that meets Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). We describe the principles behind WCAG, introduce assistive technologies, and explain how to create accessible tables, images, videos, audio, links, and math equations. By creating educational materials with accessibility in mind, we can ensure these resources are more useful, powerful, and accessible to all.

Arianna Cheveldave (she/her) is a coordinator on the Open Education Team at BCcampus. Since 2018, she has been dedicated to enhancing accessibility in educational materials. She finds joy in educating others on strategies to ensure educational resources cater to the needs of all learners.
