Not everyone accesses digital information in the same way. However, it can be challenging to identify what might be a potential problem for someone with impacts if you are a beginner in developing or creating accessible content.
Enter Microsoft’s accessibility checkers. These are built into programs like Microsoft Word to help you check that your documents are easy for people with impacts to read and access. They are also a great way of learning about how to make the content of your files accessible.
Join us to make your work more inclusive.
What’s covered in this session
- What makes an accessible document
- Types of issues detected by Microsoft Word’s accessibility checker
- Limitations of accessibility checkers

What is Tooltime?
Tooltime is a series of short informal showcases where staff from all areas are given the opportunity to share a gadget, tool, app, workflow or technique. The technologies showcased can range from anything that could engage learners, streamline teaching or save you time. Sessions do not have to formally address teaching and learning concepts in-depth but rather recognise the technology’s potential capabilities in this area. Each session in the series will run for 30 minutes and is intended for either academic or professional staff.
Disclaimer:
The Tooltime hosts make no claims on the utility of tools and do not necessarily provide support for the gadgets, widgets or workflows presented.
