Accessibility Training: Creating Inclusive Social Media
If you missed the Social Media Accessibility training led by Amie Nephew (opens in new window), Director of Accessibility at TBR please view the recording so you can understand your responsibility in making your RSCC social media sites ADA compliant. This session focused on the requirements for making social media content accessible to all users, including those with disabilities. As a reminder, under the new DOJ rulings, all RSCC web pages and social media sites used for official college communications must be fully ADA compliant and meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards by April 2026. If you would like to watch Amie’s other ADA trainings on Web Content, Alt Text, Word, PPT, etc. please visit the TBR Accessibility Training page.
To support faculty and staff in meeting these requirements, training sessions will be offered throughout Summer and Fall 2025, as well as Spring 2026. These sessions will provide practical guidance on making your RSCC web pages and social media sites ADA compliant. More details on upcoming training opportunities will be shared through emails and posted on the CTAT website at the end of April after accessibility audits and timelines have been turned into Tamara Oliver and Susan Sutton. Thank you.
