**ONLINE** Improving PDF Accessibility

Thursday, October 22, 2026 from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM

PDFs are commonly used as course materials, but too often they create hidden barriers for students who use screen readers or other assistive technologies (note that PDFs are no longer permitted on NIU websites). While they can be difficult to make accessible, a few fixes can make a big difference. In this workshop, we’ll explore practical steps you can take to improve the accessibility of PDFs in your courses. You’ll learn how to check if your PDFs are readable, add tags, adjust reading order, and include headings and alt text. Advance registration required. Register Now!
