Digital accessibility requires accessible formating. In this session you'll learn how to format accessible documents as well as how to evaluate documents for proper accessibility formats.
Creating Meaningful Hyperlinks

This workshop gives participants a number of ways to ensure that they meet these three goals and create meaningful hyperlinks.
