Doch oft sind digitale Dokumente und Unterlagen voller Hürden, die viele Menschen ausschließen. In diesem Workshop zeigen wir euch erste einfache Schritte zur Gestaltung möglichst barrierearmer digitaler Unterlagen und Dokumente. Formatvorlagen, Überschriften, Designs, Gliederungen, Tabellen, Kontraste, alternative Bildbenennungen – alle diese Faktoren tragen dazu bei, wie gut Lehr- und Lernmaterialien, die ihr für euer Studium anfertigt, von anderen Menschen erfasst und verarbeitet werden können. Viele Schritte für eine zugängliche Gestaltung von digitalen Unterlagen können leicht in den Alltag übernommen werden; es müssen nur ein paar Basics gekannt und angewendet werden.

Celebremos el Día Mundial de la Concienciación sobre la Accesibilidad (GAAD) con un webinar gratuito donde hablaremos con Claudio Gregoire, Master en diseño universal, accesibilidad, y tecnologías de apoyo, Gestor en inclusión y consultor en gestión del cambio, quien nos contará sobre como crear una estrategia para desarrollar productos digitales accesibles, desde revisión de ciertas normas que deben cumplirse, el rol de un consultor de accesibilidad y formas de evaluar la accesibilidad de un producto digital. Incorporar accesibilidad en nuestros productos y servicios permitirá que una mayor cantidad de personas accedan a sus contenidos, interactúen con una interfaz comprensible y realicen cualquier tipo de transacción o trámite, especialmente personas con discapacidad y personas mayores, quienes se enfrentan día a día a las barreras generadas por un diseño no inclusivo.
