Upcoming Events:
Digital Accessibility Open Office Hours — Fourth Thursday of every month from 1-2 pm

Quick Check for Digital Accessibility
Celine Greene, Sr. Digital Teaching and Learning Strategist, Bloomberg School of Public Health and Kathy Cahill, Digital Accessibility Coordinator, IT@JH
Celine and Kathy will discuss an Accessibility Quick Check document that was developed to assist faculty, staff and students in reviewing their digital materials for accessibility. The checklist serves as a guide that goes beyond the automated validation tools, such as Ally and Microsoft’s accessibility checker. Come find out what it’s all about and offer your feedback!
This session will be auto captioned in Zoom. For any disability related accommodation needs, please email [email protected].
