Many in our WFU community regularly engage in meeting, learning, and socializing in virtual spaces. There are ways to make those experiences more inclusive and accessible for all involved! When it’s time to host a virtual engagement, consider the following steps to enhance the accessibility within your virtual spaces.
- Strive to meet the needs of everyone in your virtual space.
- Create a welcoming environment for all visitors.
- Offer alternative methods to access the material you present.
- Provide support to prevent and fix technology challenges.
- Avoid elements that could negatively impact an attendee’s participation and experience.
- Pace presentations to allow attendees time to process and reflect.
