College2College: Accessibility
The series has concluded, but all of the valuable resources remain available.
Gwinnett Technical College is offering a spring accessibility training series consisting of weekly virtual sessions. These WebEx webinars focus on a range of accessibility-related topics and are designed to support the creation of inclusive course materials.
Each session will be offered twice each week—Wednesdays at 2:00 p.m. and Fridays at 10:00 a.m.
Led by Amber Walden of Gwinnett Technical College, the series explores practical strategies and tools for creating accessible content across multiple formats, including Blackboard, Word, PowerPoint, video, and PDFs.
Session recordings and the PowerPoint slide decks will be made available after the Friday session each week.
