- Curricula “provides material for teaching accessibility. You can use it to develop courses specifically on digital accessibility, or to include accessibility in other courses, such as programming and graphics design.” Foundation modules Developer modules Design and Content modules coming We need to get universities, TAFES and even Secondary school to include a11y in what they teach about digital services and digital documents – please talk to them as materials are available now
- Ryerson In partnership with the Government of Ontario, Ryerson University’s Chang School of Continuing Education is creating a series of practical online courses and interactive open textbooks aimed at raising awareness of digital accessibility, improving understanding and implementation of the requirements of Digital Accessibility, and contributing to a culture of inclusion around the world.

- I will share the slides and a doc with all the links I’ve mentioned Also mention AT Survey to compliment the WebAIM – prelim results for GAAD; detailed results next month Also mention that we are ‘shifting left’ with much more attention being paid to design and increasing attention being paid to content (and some to project management) – not all about the developer any more Questions to conference – what is the view about EPUB, we found it’s not a preference, but that might just be because it’s not familiar and used widely in Australia
