This workshop provides a technical explanation of how to create accessible web content. Web developers will come away with a deep understanding of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0, the AODA requirements for website accessibility, and how to achieve WCAG 2.0 conformance.  Knowledge of HTML is required.

Note: This workshop is ideal for those who have already taken the Introduction to Website Accessibility workshop or webinar (next one is on Feb. 27th)  or those who already have some familiarity with digital accessibility concepts.

The de-mystifying of WCAG was very helpful!
