Digital document accessibility

Virtual session: Teams

This session focuses on accessible content creation practices. Techniques for conceptualizing, creating and maintaining accessible documents will be discussed and how to build these into department wide processes. A heavy emphasis is placed on why those techniques are important, and the ramifications of formatting decisions.

Accessibility and accommodation

We strive to make the session as accessible as possible. Teams allows for live, automated captioning, a chat for communication with the group, as well as interactive features like hand raising and participation with audio or video. More information about MS Teams Accessibility Features can be found on Microsoft’s support site.
