This hands-on workshop will teach you how to make common word processing documents accessible for screen readers, and how to make presentations accessible for a wide range of users. We will cover MS Word, MS PowerPoint and Google Docs, as well as general best practices for accessibility that you can incorporate across formats. You'll leave this workshop with readily implementable strategies and checklists you can start using immediately to ensure your research, teaching, and presentations are more accessible to diverse audiences.
Note: We recommend downloading the desktop version of MS Word and PowerPoint as these are the versions we will be demonstrating in our workshop. UIUC provides Microsoft 365 Office Suite to affiliated members of the University; you can find instructions how to download and install the desktop version on the University Webstore
