Target Audience: Staff

The aim of this session is to enable content creators to produce accessible webpages using TerminalFour (T4), the University’s Content Management System.

As the University’s main presence on the internet, the Strathclyde website offers a welcoming hub for prospective and current students, colleagues and visitors. Therefore, ensuring that our web content caters to the needs of a diverse audience by offering choice, consistency and control, is essential.

Through practical examples and exercises, participants will gain the skills to produce content for the Strathclyde website that follows accessibility best practices, ensuring that their digital content is inclusive and accessible to all users.

By the end of this session, you will be able to:

• organise page content in a meaningful and consistent way using headings, paragraphs, lists and other structural elements
• use language and visual presentation of text content to enhance readability
• use colour and contrast to make content easier to see for diverse audiences
• provide equivalent text alternatives for images, where appropriate
• test web content for accessibility using manual and automated techniques
