I am glad to present the following “Accessibility Strategies in Digital Publishing” is a seminar designed for teachers, staff, and researchers to explore practical strategies for enhancing accessibility in digital content and publications. Participants will learn about legal and ethical considerations within Sweden, the EU, and the US. They will also explore the rationale for implementing changes and discuss common barriers related to vision, hearing, cognitive abilities, and mobility. The seminar will discuss the POUR principles—perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust—and best practices across various topics, including type treatment, scale, contrast checker, alt text, AI tools, metadata creation and considerations for neurodivergent users. The session includes an interactive workshop component, where attendees will analyse digital content excerpts to identify accessibility issues and propose improvements. This practical exercise aims to reinforce understanding and encourage the application of accessibility principles in their teaching materials and artistic and research-based digital publications.
