This workshop introduced some simple, basic skills that, when turned into good habits, can go a long way toward creating and editing materials that are accessible, sustainable, and better for everyone. Focusing on Microsoft Word and PowerPoint, this session provided concrete steps that don't just meet, but go beyond, the built-in accessibility checkers. By the end of the workshop participants should be able to: meet the minimum digital accessibility expectations of Johns Hopkins faculty; know what tools are available in Microsoft products to help get there; understand why we can’t rely on automated checkers alone; and know the value in employing these skills all the time, with every document, and not just “when you have time” or “when it really matters”.
