Outline
Wednesday, Aug 18, 2021
Sam Cook (Senior Quality Assurance Engineer) and Helen Bailey (Evolve LXD) talk about accessibility in the context of content made using Evolve. Is Evolve fully accessible? How do you make sure any content you add to your courses remains accessible and how can you check?
We also take a look at some myths surrounding accessibility and share some resources that will help you with this topic.
