Introduction to Accessible Social Media

Can your posts be read by a screen reader? Do your tweets have alt text? What is CamelCase? Social media platforms are widely used across campus to provide students with news, and details about upcoming events, but how can we make it more accessible? Students who attend this workshop will be able to: identify the most common accessibility issues related to three social media platforms: Facebook, Twitter and Instagram; apply best practices; and evaluate the accessibility of posts on the respective platforms. This 2 hour workshop will be lecture style, with experiential components. It’s going to be #awesome.
