This course will look at
In this course, you'll learn how to make the most of the newest accessibility features in Adobe InDesign CC to ensure your audience can make sense of your content first time regardless of any impairment.
The course runs through the techniques and tools within InDesign as well as a live example so you can see the changes being made in real time, and the benefit it gives the end user.
Learning objectives
At the end of this course you will know how to:
- Understand the difference between accessible and inaccessible content
- How to group and structure written content in InDesign CC
- How to add information to images for users of assistive technology
- How to export InDesign files to PDF to improve accessibility
Level of training

Attendees should have a basic knowledge of how to use InDesign. The training covers how to use InDesign’s features to make documents created from it more accessible for users with disabilities, but it is not a full beginner’s course in using InDesign as an application. It may also be beneficial if attendees have some prior knowledge of accessibility standards and principles, as can be gained from the free Introduction to Digital Accessibility course.
