Accessible eLearning and More through Universal Design: Courses, Slide Decks, Videos, and Learning Resources

In this session, Michelle Mata guides participants through identifying situations where accessibility features can enhance the learning experience for a wide range of users—not just those with disabilities. She introduces the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) to help designers understand key benchmarks for accessible design.

Michelle then demonstrates practical ways to integrate accessibility into various learning materials, including eLearning courses, slide decks, videos, and more. Participants will explore features such as focus order, alt text, closed captions, and color contrast, gaining actionable strategies to create inclusive, user-friendly learning resources.
