Web Accessibility in Higher Education

Higher education institutions have unique web accessibility requirements. These institutions consist of every different type of research, along with teaching, marketing and e-commerce requirements, like promoting courses, collecting fees and providing course materials. They also have very specific accessibility requirements, and often with teeny-tiny budgets!

Gian will talk about the various ways to make your University accessible, even if you have a very small budget – or none at all! Gian Wild spent six years at one of the largest Universities in Australia managing the Usability and Accessibility Services division, and has been running AccessibilityOz for seven years, with a specific focus on higher education. Through work with institutions like Michigan State University, California Community Colleges Tech Center, George Mason University and Temple University, AccessibilityOz has helped make education accessible to all.
