The European Accessibility Act (EEA) is set to take effect soon, introducing new accessibility requirements for digital products and services, including educational content. Starting June 28, 2025, all educational publishers distributing digital materials within the European Union will need to ensure their content complies with WCAG 2.2 standards. In the UK, monitoring of websites and applications of public services began even earlier, in October 2024. If you’re involved in creating or adapting digital educational resources, now is a good time to understand what these changes mean and how to prepare. The recording will be available starting May 7 and can be watched on-demand through the end of the year 2025.
