Abstract

The recent directive on Digital Accessibility has woken insitutions up to the need to be accessible to as many as possible in our communities and society. This workshop will introduce the directive, what it impacts in terms of HEIs’ digital estates and the timelines set-out. Most importantly, the workshop will focus on how to create a cultural shift in our institutions so that accessible practices become part of our everyday workflows and our institutional DNA via a number of interactive activities.
