Accessibility Training: Creating Inclusive Social Media
March 19th at 10 am
Meeting link: https://roanestate.zoom.us/j/2942855582
Join us for an important accessibility training led by Amie Nephew, Director of Accessibility at the Tennessee Board of Regents (TBR). This session will focus on best practices for making social media content accessible to all users, including those with disabilities. With the new DOJ rulings requiring all digital content, including social media, to be fully accessible by April 2026, it is essential that faculty and staff understand how to implement inclusive design strategies. This training will cover key topics such as alternative text, captioning videos, descriptive text, readable fonts/colors, emojis & special characters, using camel case for hashtags, using built-in social media checkers, and ensuring compliance with accessibility standards.
Don’t miss this opportunity to stay ahead of these requirements and create a more inclusive online presence for all students and community members.
