Strategie, strumenti e scenari con iPad e Mac per una scuola realmente accessibile In occasione del Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD), questo webinar esplora il valore dell’Universal Design for Learning (UDL) all’interno del curricolo scolastico, attraverso l’uso di iPad e Mac. Una riflessione pratica e pedagogica su come l’accessibilità non sia solo un requisito, ma una competenza chiave per docenti e studenti, in un contesto educativo sempre più digitale e inclusivo. Durante l’incontro, il docente e formatore Alberto Luca Somaschini, Apple Distinguished Educator e APLS Accessibility Team Leader, illustrerà esempi concreti, strumenti nativi e strategie efficaci per progettare esperienze didattiche universali. Uno spazio sarà dedicato anche alle nuove potenzialità offerte da Apple Intelligence, tra cui la sintesi automatica di contenuti web, la generazione di testi da elenchi puntati e la creazione di immagini per il supporto comunicativo, aprendo scenari inediti per l’accessibilità e la personalizzazione della didattica. giovedì 15 maggio 2025 15:30 – 16:45 Relatore: Alberto Somaschini Apple Professional Learning Specialist

>>> 11h00 | Tecnologia que Inclui Alelo e CI&T apresentam um case real com IA e design, mostrando como decisões de UX, produto e desenvolvimento impactam diretamente a inclusão digital.

Celebremos el Día Mundial de la Concienciación sobre la Accesibilidad (GAAD) con un webinar gratuito donde hablaremos con Claudio Gregoire, Master en diseño universal, accesibilidad, y tecnologías de apoyo, Gestor en inclusión y consultor en gestión del cambio, quien nos contará sobre como crear una estrategia para desarrollar productos digitales accesibles, desde revisión de ciertas normas que deben cumplirse, el rol de un consultor de accesibilidad y formas de evaluar la accesibilidad de un producto digital. Incorporar accesibilidad en nuestros productos y servicios permitirá que una mayor cantidad de personas accedan a sus contenidos, interactúen con una interfaz comprensible y realicen cualquier tipo de transacción o trámite, especialmente personas con discapacidad y personas mayores, quienes se enfrentan día a día a las barreras generadas por un diseño no inclusivo. Este evento cuenta con la colaboración de Women TechMakers Chile y Ciudad Fácil.

Over 95% of websites aren’t fully accessible. Yet, the most common challenge is no longer lack of awareness. It’s lack of planning, capabilities, and lasting success. Audits get done. Issues get flagged. But without the right people and processes in place, progress stalls fast. Join us to explore how top enterprises make accessibility sustainable from day one—and thrive at every stage of the journey. Together, we’ll cover insights you can use to:
➡️ Avoid common pitfalls of operationalizing digital accessibility at scale
➡️ Expand and upskill teams to build in-house capabilities for the long-term
➡️ Balance internal efforts with external support for optimal results
➡️ Monitor and maintain progress as digital content and products evolve
➡️ Integrate accessibility throughout the product development lifecycle
