ABOUT

Social media is central to how many people get news and share information. However, the way content is shared on social media is not always accessible for people with disability, which may limit audience engagement.

Making Social Media Accessible is a FREE online workshop presented by Newcastle based accessibility trainer Bec Hogan (pictured above) which will provide participants with an extremely useful overview of the social media landscape from an accessibility perspective as well as some very practical advice on making social media content accessible and inclusive.

Learn about:

• Accessibility features in Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube
• How to include captions in videos
• How to include alt text and descriptions for images
• Best practice approaches to language, text and emojis
• Useful apps for making content more accessible
