IDRE Visualization Portal

5628 Math Sciences, 520 Portola Plaza, Los Angeles, CA 90095 Map

16% of UCLA undergraduate students have a disability. Help empower this growing population through accessible curriculum design and web content. In this hour long active learning session, you will learn the challenges for people with disabilities, understand the impact of assistive technology and screenreading software to “read text out loud”, and receive hands-on experience building an accessible document. We will also discuss some of the principals of Universal Design for Learning and how they might be applied in your course and research documents.

1/28/19 Documentation

Location: Online workshops will be held on Zoom. A link will be emailed to attendees at 8:00 am the day of the event.

People who are blind, low-vision or have dyslexia rely on assistive technologies and screenreading software to “read text out loud” to them. However, many documents created are completely inaccessible or frustrating for screenreader users. Public documents posted on websites and emailed to listservs should be accessible to people who use screenreaders. During this hour-long active learning session, you will have the opportunity to get hands-on training in making accessible PDF and Word documents.

1/7/19 Basics

Location: Online workshops will be held on Zoom. A link will be emailed to attendees at 8:00 am the day of the event.

People who are blind, low-vision or have dyslexia rely on assistive technologies and screenreading software to “read text out loud” to them. However, many documents and websites created are completely inaccessible or just frustrating for screenreader users. Learn accessible design and content management tools to make it easier for people with disabilities to engage with your website content and documents. During the hour long active learning session, you will learn the impact of accessible websites and documents, simple methods how to build in accessibility in current content, and have an opportunity for hands-on experience building accessible webpages and documents.

*Please note, if you have already attended the Documentation and Web training courses, then it is not recommended to attend this Basics course.



For in person courses, it is recommended to bring a laptop or you may request a laptop during registration to have one provided for you.

**More workshops coming in Winter and Spring Quarter. Email oitcomms@oit.ucla.edu to get an announcement of when new dates/times are posted.
