Having accessible documents available online allows everyone equal access to information. Regardless of whether the document is in Microsoft Word, Adobe PDF or another document format there are a few basic guidelines to make your content accessible:
- Use headings and keep order.
- Use descriptive hyperlinks.
- Add alternate text to images and graphics.
- Identify document language.
- Color contrast.
- Don't use color as the only way to convey meaning.
- Use tables wisely.
As a reminder, all university video assets must feature synchronized captions. This can be accomplished by manually entering captions or using the auto-sync function services provided by YouTube, Facebook, etc. It's important to check any auto-captioning for accuracy and review before publishing.
