Indeed, it was Sir Tim Berners-Lee who stated “The power of the Web is in its universality. Access by everyone regardless of disability is an essential aspect”.<br><br>So why, when universal access is considered such an essential aspect, do we continue to observe a low rate of adoption of digital accessibility principles? Vivienne will look at the current issues regarding digital accessibility, the different focus between organisations providing websites and applications, and the users who require these services. We will discuss the disparity between the perception of the organisation of how accessible their information is, and the experience of the user trying to obtain access to this same information. <br><br>Finally we will look at some practical ways in which you can improve the accessibility of your digital information, how that will affect your users, and what this will mean for the reputation of your organisation.<br><br>If you are based interstate, see below webinar times for your local area: -<br><br><b>Location & Start Time:</b> <ul><li>Queensland - 2:00 PM</li><li>Tasmania - 2:00 PM</li><li>Victoria - 2:00 PM</li><li>New South Wales - 2:00 PM</li><li>South Australia - 1:30 PM</li><li>Northern Territory - 1:30 PM</li><li>Western Australia - 12:00 PM</li></ul> <u><b>Please note:</b></u> <br>ACS Webinars are not allocated for '<i>Professional Year</i>' points.
