In honour of Global Accessibility Awareness Day and in collaboration with Accessibility Services (Blundon Centre), CITL’s Learning Technology Coaches would like to invite Memorial University’s instructional staff to participate in an accessibility document review process. Using best practices as outlined by WebAIM, coaches will use accessibility checklists for Word, PowerPoint and PDF documents to review documents and highlight items that can be adjusted to make it more accessible. These checklists focus on the accessible use of headings, appropriate inclusion of tables, images and other formatting features. This event is open only to instructional staff at Memorial University of Newfoundland Labrador.

Under the theme of “keeping technology accessible for everyone” a2i and Friendship shall organize a variety of events aimed at promoting awareness and education around the importance of accessibility and inclusion. From virtual conferences to social media campaigns, a2i and Friendship are pulling out all the stops to make this year’s GAAD celebration one to remember.
Since the end of 2022, we started the initiative with the goal to provide all our users the same equal experience on our digital communication channels, such as the external websites and the internal channels. We are actively working on increasing awareness about digital accessibility in the organization through newsletters, videos, and webinars. A second part of the initiative focuses on enhancing the knowledge and competence of our editors, developers, and designers’ community by providing them sessions with an accessibility expert and an eLearning. Finally, we also improved some aspects of our websites and build an accessibility roadmap. To strengthen the message we’ll publish on May 18th our accessibility statement on our external websites.
La setmana vinent no és una setmana qualsevol a l’EMAV. S’acaben les classes i a més celebrarem la setmana gran del Curs d’Especialització en Audiodescripció i Subtitulació. Ens han preparat un bingo musical solidari (hi haurà premis!!) i una exposició sobre el cinema musical dels anys 50… accessible! Dues activitats originals, inclusives i creatives per celebrar el final de curs, que coincideix amb el Dia Internacional de la Promoció de l’Accessibilitat. Des de l’escola treballem amb valors perquè el nostre alumnat prengui consciència de la necessitat de tenir en compte totes les capacitats a l’hora de crear. Creiem en una societat inclusiva, perquè el problema no rau en el que no podem fer. L’accessibilitat proporciona un marc d’igualtat de condicions en què tothom ho pot tot. Entre totes i tots aconseguirem aquesta peça que falta i que farà de la nostra una societat més justa i per a tothom! #gaad23 #accessibilitat #accessibility
