The Curious Case of Accessibility Checkers

This hands-on training session introduces participants to the use of digital accessibility evaluation tools—such as WAVE, PAC 2024, and Microsoft Office accessibility checkers —to assess and improve the accessibility of digital content. Attendees will learn how to identify common accessibility barriers, interpret automated test results, and understand the limitations of these tools in relation to manual testing and user experience.

It will be held in BRK 416 and online in the ODA Zoom.
