Increase Engagement

Is this you?

 

  • You believe in creating inclusive and accessible courses, but are unsure of where to start or how to implement best practices. 

  • You want to improve the online experience of your students, but are not clear on some of the barriers learners face when accessing digital content.  

  • The wordy accessibility guidelines seem far too technical and confusing to follow.

  • You worry you might have to let go of pretty design choices to make your content accessible.  

  • You are not exactly in your zone of genius - the idea of learning a new skill & adapting existing materials without an understanding of the clear benefits for learners makes you run away from it ... fast!

It's time to open your digital offers to more learners.

 

It's time to make sure learners with disabilities AND different abilities can consume your courses when they buy them.

 

I'll help you make your digital accessibility journey simple & practical so you can put those pieces together and say goodbye to inaccessible digital content and hello to accessible and inclusive digital materials that cater for all learners regardless of their abilities or disabilities.

  • NO MORE 'one size fits all' 

  • NO MORE inaccessible PDFs

  • NO MORE videos without captions

  • NO MORE images without alternative text

  • NO MORE excluding learners from the learning experience

This is exactly why I created The Digital fix: Accessibility Edition. After taking an accessibility in digital learning specialist certification, I shifted my mindset from creating materials that could accommodate some learners who may not otherwise participate in the learning, to building my lessons and courses with accessibility in mind. From the ground up, so that ALL learners can consume, engage and benefit equally from the courses they choose to go on.

Accessible content does not mean dull content. You do not have to sacrifice creativity and engaging elements to make content accessible. What you DO need to do is create learning experiences that meet the needs of diverse learners.

Onboarding 

The first two weeks are mainly community based so we can get to know each other, get you onboarded on the programme, set your personal learning goals and get your first accessibility audit done. There will be a guest speaker session too (more info soon). You also get access to the Accessibility in Digital Learning 101 Mini-Hackathon and the Crafting Captions Sprint trainings straight away.

Introduction to Accessible & Inclusive Design 

In Module 1, we will explore what accessibility in digital learning means, why it's vital to ensure inclusion and engagement and how it can be implemented following the Web Accessibility Guidelines. We will also dig into the principles of Universal Design for Learning and how these can be translated into practical tasks. This module will set the scene for the practical work in the next modules.

Non-Text Content & Social Media Accessibility 

In Module 2, we will explore the power of alternative text and learn how to write them for a variety of non-text content, including simple images, images of text, gifs & graphs and charts. You will use assistive technologies to test and validate your work as well as establish and implement strategies to make your social media inclusive.

Accessible Navigation 

In Module 3, we will work on an inclusive learning environment. This module focuses on designing digital spaces with seamless and user-friendly navigation, ensuring every student can effortlessly explore and engage with the learning content. We will not only be looking at links, consistent layout, heading structure but also a simple student onboarding on course navigation.

Accessible Materials 

In Module 4, we will define the many building blocks needed to create accessible course materials and discover tools that can help  in the process. From documents to multimedia materials, we'll explore practical methods to ensure your materials are accessible to learners regardless of their abilities or disabilities fostering an inclusive learning experience.

Not sure if The Digital Fix: Accessibility Edition is for you? Let me tell it to you straight: 

 

  • this is not a one size fits all, plug and play accessibility template and will require you to think about your own learners and your own context 
  • some tasks can be quite time-consuming but there are tools to help you streamline some processes
  • oh... and I'm also still trying to make a lot of these processes most effective myself 

 

BUT you are in the right place if

  • you are willing to think outside the box, be a bit of a rebel, experiment, work and rework 
  • you trust that small changes can lead to significant improvements
  • your biggest reward is to see your learners get to where they want to be

Imagine being able to:

 

  • improve the online user experience 

  • increase engagement in your courses
  • create inclusive and ethical digital learning

  • confidently promote your offers to ALL learners

  • drive more traffic to your offers (and leave no money on the table)

  • be legally compliant with digital accessibility guidelines
  • improve your SEO as a bonus (yes, that's another power of alternative text)

Resources, tools and implementation together with live sessions so you can create a learning environment where every student or client can succeed and thrive. Leave NO ONE behind.
