Digital accessibility ensures that everyone, including people with disabilities, can independently access and use digital information, services and technologies with ease and dignity. This online self-paced course helps to build awareness of digital accessibility, including its key principles and legal requirements. Participants will learn to understand their role in digital accessibility, recognize accessibility considerations, and identify when to seek guidance, tools, or expertise to create inclusive digital content, services, and technologies.

Topics include:

  • explaining what digital accessibility means in practical terms
  • recognizing how digital barriers are created through everyday decisions
  • preventing barriers early rather than remediating them later
  • understanding how accessibility responsibilities are shared across roles
  • supporting compliance with the Accessible Canada Act, the information and communication technologies (ICT) amendments to the Accessible Canada Regulations, and Canada’s ICT accessibility standard
