Who is this session for: any RSCC employee who manages or contributes to any webpage or social media account affiliated with RSCC.
This could be a website you have created and use for your course(s) or an RSCC webpage or social media site you manage for a student organization or any RSCC committee, club, office, project, division, or service.
This session will focus on best practices for making social media & webpage content accessible to all users, including individuals with disabilities. Whether you manage a departmental page or occasionally post course-related content, this training will offer practical tips and tools to ensure your communications are inclusive and ADA compliant.
We encourage anyone who shares content on a RSCC webpage or a social platform—whether academic or institutional—to attend.
