Description:
Elaine Ostroff with the Institute for Human Centered Design has said, “Design has the power to make us feel competent or incompetent; it has the power to include or exclude us.” We know this in our physical world: Entering buildings with an automatic door is easier for everyone, but grants inclusion for those with limited mobility. Our digital world is similar, in that we can design our digital information and documents to be more inclusive and accessible from the beginning. Come learn 1-2 easy things your unit can implement electronically, explore CSU resources and a new course on accessibility, and let’s spend some time brainstorming together how your unit can use these resources to enact simple accessibility goals that have a big impact.”
Goals and Target Audience:
1.) learn 1-2 quick things to create accessible materials 2.) explore CSU accessibility resources and discuss a new accessibility Course 3.) Brainstorm easy ways to use these resources to take a step towards more electronic accessibility in their unit Unit Leaders, Managers, Or anyone wanting to make a change in their unit
