Web Accessibility training for AEM authors

On May 26 we advised all AEM authors of a new training course. Web Accessibility Training will ensure that Concordia’s web pages are accessible to anyone regardless of their ability or disability, assistive device used or technical constraint. All AEM publishers have until October 14, 2022 to take this training on Moodle.

Easy clean-ups over the summer 

Occupy your time wisely this summer by applying simple changes that improve accessibility and first impressions. 

Review our three suggestions

Add power to your MS Forms 

Do you use MS Forms? Do you use a shared mailbox in Outlook? If you answer “yes” and “yes,” then buckle up! Experience the power of Microsoft’s Power Automate to automatically send responses that you collect in MS Forms, from your shared mailbox to anyone you choose. 

Learn to use Power Automate

What you should know about complex images

Complex images such as charts, graphs and infographics can contain substantial information – more than can be conveyed in a short phrase or sentence. Learn how to include complex images on your web page so that they’re accessible for all users.

Make complex images accessible

Paying attention to the ‘Modified’ state

If you open a page but do not change anything, you want to make sure the page state is not changed to ‘Modified’ with your name on it.

Know the implications of this page state
