Copyright raises many questions: What can I use freely? When do I need to get permission? How do I protect my intellectual property? This workshop will provide an overview of U.S. copyright law in the academic setting and point the way to resources that help in making decisions and knowing when to seek legal advice.
This online session is an introduction to digital accessibility for content creators. Access to websites and digital content is essential for employment, education, and independent living. We can produce digital content that makes it more or less usable for people with disabilities. The goal of digital accessibility is to create content available and usable by as many people as possible, including those with disabilities. In this session, we will cover what digital accessibility is, and the basic techniques designers, creators, and editors can use to improve the accessibility of digital content.
