Why this course matters
We believe that when we design for the extremes, everyone benefits. Ontario’s AODA regulations make Web and document accessibility the law for most government, businesses and organizations in Ontario.
Fortune 500s, government, and NGOs agree: when it comes to demystifying online accessibility, David Berman is the #1 expert to show you what you need to do and how to design for all … without tradeoffs.
“David defines accessibility as a business strategy … the course promotes inclusionary policies rather than social obligation”
– David Best, IBM
Most adults suffer at some point from a disability or difficulty that can be mitigated with accessible technologies. If you write, edit, design, develop, or manage, you will save time and resources by using the immediately-applicable secrets David will share.
Whether your organization spreads the word in HTML, apps, or PDF, David offers a course tailored to your immediate goals. Delivery of accessible messages has never been easier: HTML and PDF can comply with the new Standard On Web Accessibility, AODA, WCAG 2.0 and the new Norwegian standard … but only if you know how.
“Loved the examples. David is an engaging and knowledgeable facilitator and his passion is obvious.”
– Patrick Dunphy, CBC
You’ll gain both an understanding of why accessibility matters and how to implement policies effectively. Whether you’re starting in Word, PowerPoint, InDesign, LiveCycle, or HTML, you will come away with a detailed knowledge of the issues and how to easily address and test each, in ways that will reduce your overall publishing costs… for both desktop and mobile.
Not only will you leave with ideas you can use right away, you may also gain a whole new attitude towards how technology can improve lives. By the end of the day you will be aware of why accessibility standards affect everyone … with a thorough understanding of what needs to be done and how to do it.
“With no technical background, I understood and was interested in the entire session.”
– Sharon Drolet, Canadian Food Inspection Agency
