Accessibility Training

The University has a shared responsibility to make information and communication technology accessible.  To support the UConn community in this obligation, we have developed accessibility training which are intended to enhance knowledge and skills of University employees and organizations in the use of accessible technology.  We encourage all employees who engage in web development and design, content stewardship, and/or procuring goods and services to become familiar with this training material. There are opportunities for self-paced learning as well as live workshops. The live workshops include: Accessible Colors, Images, Word Documents, PowerPoint Presentations, PDFs, and Websites. Please contact itaccessibility@uconn.edu if you need other digital accessibility training or would like group/department training.

Self-Paced Learning: We have a collection of self-paced training you can follow to learn more about creating accessible digital content.
