Microsoft Word and Brightspace Ally Accessibility Training: April 10

Register now for the Virtual Microsoft Word and Brightspace Ally Accessibility Training on Thursday, April 10, from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. This is an online event.

In this training session, faculty members will learn how to create accessible content in Microsoft Word utilizing a universal design method, meaning the document is accessible to all students. Topics will include using built-in accessibility tools, formatting documents with proper headings and styles, adding alternative text to images, creating accessible tables, and ensuring document compatibility with screen readers. By the end of the session, faculty members will be equipped with practical skills to create more inclusive and accessible course materials.

Ally is embedded within Brightspace to assist content creators in making files such as Word, PowerPoint, images, and PDFs more accessible. This training will explain the importance of Ally accessibility score indicators, alternative formats, and how to run your Ally Course Report. We will end with a Q&A and an opportunity to work on personal course content for step-by-step instructions from Accessibility Services and/or Instructional Design.
