What happens when a learner can't catch every word in the room? Missing a few words can quickly become missing the wider message. We're demonstrating how Scríofa's live captions and transcripts help learners participate and engage in real time. Visit Booth T13 at Educause. #Accessibility #EDU26

Accessibility doesn't end when content becomes accessible. Learners still need it in the format that works for them. At Educause: Brickfield (Booth T13) and our partner ReadSpeaker (Booth 1915) support accessibility across the whole learner journey. #Accessibility #EDU26

Text Tip: Use capitals appropriately. Ensure capitalisation is minimised as this makes text harder to read. Only use where appropriate (eg acronyms, logos). #Accessibility #BrickfieldTips

Access to information is a right. But if a website can't be navigated, or a video can't be followed, is that access really available to everyone? On the International Day for Universal Access to Information, its important to remind people that access goes beyond availability. #Accessibility

Students shouldn't be the first people to discover an accessibility issue. That's why we're showcasing the TinyMCE Accessibility Checker at Educause, helping authors identify and fix issues before they reach learners. Stop by booth T13. #Accessibility #EDU26

Screen readers don't read pixels. They interpret what our code exposes. Accessibility starts with semantics, not appearance. www.linkedin.com/pul... #Accessibility #A11y #ScreenReaders #WebAccessibility #InclusiveDesign #WCAG #DigitalAccessibility #AssistiveTechnology

Do screen readers actually read the screen?
Most screen readers never look at the rendered screen. Instead, they get information from the browser in two ways.
