A11Y Audio: microlearning, multimodal delivery, and a dash of community connection

Every day, colleagues across Wake Forest are getting excited about advancing inclusion through technology accessibility. But as people get started learning about accessible digital content, they may find the lingo and new concepts a bit overwhelming. To make learning about accessibility basics a simpler experience, the IS Technology Accessibility Team created a combination audio and text resource to help everyone access new information in quick and easy ways. In addition to brief educational snippets, the site will also present interviews with WFU partners and allies of accessibility. Using principles of microlearning and multimodal delivery, the A11Y Audio project hopes to enhance learning for all of WFU’s eager accessibility partners. Join the session to learn more and then reach out to tap@wfu.edu to share topic and suggestions for interviewees!
