Accessibility Bites Series 2.0

The second iteration of the Accessibility Bites series built upon the success and interest of the first series, also offering hands-on learning while exploring tools and practices that are key to creating digital content that is accessible for students with disabilities. While the first series was facilitated by Josie Gray, six facilitators from across Canada facilitated the following topics for Accessibility Bites 2.0:

• Alternative Format Creation
• Plain Language
• Supporting Students who are Blind or with Low Vision
• Supporting Students who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing
• PDF Documents
• Video Accessibility

Scheduled for 30 minutes during the lunch hour once a month, the hope was to give busy educators bite-sized learning that they could put into practice right away. Recognizing the short duration of these sessions, the hope has always been that these resources would be used as a starting point, prompting attendees to dive deeper into the work and have conversations with their peers about how we can create more accessible learning experiences for our students.

Session slides are openly licensed to allow others to adapt and offer the series for their own audiences.
