Is this course right for me?

Target Audience: Staff

The aim of this session is to enable developers to create accessible web forms and controls.

Many University activities involve completing forms. Whether it’s students applying for admission to a particular course, requesting financial support, or registering for a campus event; or staff booking annual leave, submitting expenses or completing their academic profile.

By designing forms with accessibility in mind, we can enable individuals to interact efficiently and independently with our digital platforms, ensuring equal access to services and opportunities.

Through practical examples and exercises, participants will learn development techniques to enable users to operate form controls, identify their purpose and usage, and recover from errors.

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

• use appropriate labelling techniques to identify form controls
• produce web forms that are operable by keyboard and assistive technologies
• employ labels, instructions and error messages to help users complete web forms
