Led by Jeff Hiles, Instructional Designer, CTL.  PDF documents frequently frustrate students who have to use text-to-speech software to read digital documents. Sometimes there’s nothing to read. Sometimes what the software can read gets jumbled or is difficult to navigate.  Learn to use Adobe Acrobat to remediate PDF documents so more students can understand and navigate your content, including students with disabilities.  Emphasis will be on what’s most important for ensuring that digital course content is accessible, including order, headings, links, images, tables, and colors.  You’ll also learn about the best way to save Microsoft Word documents in the PDF format.  Participants may be asked to do a little homework before the workshop. That way we’ll have more time to roll up our sleeves and practice.  This is the third in a three-part series of workshops aimed at helping faculty and staff create more inclusive documents. Although there is no prerequisite for this workshop, it does reinforce what you learn in Part 1 and Part 2 of the series. Those who have no experience with accessibility, may find this workshop easier if they have taken Part 1 or Part 2.  The Accessibility Ally series is based on WCAG 2.0 AA, an international standard for helping make digital content accessible to the widest audience, including people with disabilities. WCAG 2.0 AA has been embraced in rulings and settlements by the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights.
