The Faculty of Media and Creative Arts (FMCA) believes that we can all benefit from universal and inclusive design and so they have designed a free, open-access, online course called  Making Accessible Media: Accessible Design in Digital Media. The course contains a comprehensive set of modules to guide educators on how to "design like we give a damn" in the words of Léonie Watson, an accessibility engineer, writer and public speaker.

This course focuses on:

  • representation of disability in media
  • video captioning
  • audio transcription
  • described video and live captioning for broadcast
  • alternative text for image description
  • tutorials on how to make accessible documents and presentations.
