Digital
accessibility (DA or digital a11y) is the practice of creating equal
access to digital content for
our patients, staff, students, and others that consume our content.
Maybe you've heard about web accessibility
-- that's just a portion of the content that needs to be accessible.
Digital content and applications are in continuous flux as technologies evolve. We all create digital content, for example:
- Office productivity documents (Word, Excel, PDFs, presentations, etc.)
- Digital Images
- Teams chats
- and more!
Anything created or consumed electronically
needs to be made as accessible as possible, for as many people as
possible. The coming days will cover basic a11y concepts and examples of digital accessibility at UTMB and beyond.
