Objectives for Web Accessibility Training

Some audiences want the "why" of Web accessibility; others may already know "why," and instead need to know "how." This page contains questions to help focus the training.

Find out audience's needs and expectations in advance.

Questions to ask in advance:

• How familiar is the audience with Web accessibility?
• What kind of background does the audience have?
• What will the audience need to do with this information?
• Are there opportunities to get materials to the audience in advance, or online during the session?
• Will there be opportunities for follow up?

Establish learning objectives with the training host.

Audiences may have a combination of several of the following objectives. Each objective below links to resources and approaches on another page.

1. Why Web accessibility is important
2. Barriers, assistive technologies, and alternative access strategies
3. Business case and policy basis for accessible Web design
4. Designing accessible Web sites
5. Evaluating and retrofitting Web sites for accessibility
6. Designing accessible browsers and authoring tools
7. Promoting Web accessibility
8. Finding additional resources on Web accessibility
9. Other objectives you may identify?
