EMG Continuing Ed | Digital Accessibility Essentials for Extension Professionals and Volunteers
NC State Extension's mission is to extend research-based knowledge to all North Carolinians. To achieve this, we must ensure the digital content we publish on behalf of Extension—including web articles, online newsletters, videos, blog and social media posts—is accessible to all audiences, including people with disabilities.
Everyone who creates content for NC State Extension has a responsibility to follow design principles that enable users to engage with the media we share online. Watch this webinar to understand your responsibility and master basic concepts such as heading structure, color contrast and alt text. You will learn how to ensure the digital content you create and post for Extension is accessible for everyone to see, hear and navigate.
ABOUT
The NC State Extension Master Gardener℠ continuing education series equips Master Gardener volunteers and Extension professionals across North Carolina with science-based knowledge of sustainable gardening practices. They share this expertise with residents through research-based advice, educational programs, and community outreach, empowering North Carolinians to cultivate healthier plants, landscapes, ecosystems, and communities.
This series is funded by the NC Extension Master Gardener endowment and is made possible by generous donations to the endowment and the purchase or renewal of an EMG license plate.
