Description
Many higher ed websites proudly pass WCAG checks — but still fail their users. In this session, we’ll explore why accessibility is more than just meeting technical standards and how truly inclusive digital experiences require collaboration across development, design, and content teams. From screen reader mishaps and poor keyboard flows to confusing language and inaccessible layouts, we’ll show how even compliant sites can unintentionally create barriers.
In our session you’ll learn:
- Where WCAG succeeds, and where it stops short
- Why accessibility doesn't just fall to the developers
- How your team can work together to fill the gaps
- Real examples from higher ed that highlight common missteps
- Practical ways to create digital experiences that are not just compliant, but genuinely usable for all students
