Hi Heidi-

Here are the accessibility resources I mentioned to you yesterday.  Please feel free to share out to others!  The accessibility session from the UC that Joe mentioned is at the bottom of my list and should be available for viewing around August 18th.

We will see you later today!

Digital Accessibility Fundamentals | Learning Plan (3 Training Seminars, 3 Hours): Enhance the accessibility of your maps and ArcGIS applications.  Learn the key concepts and techniques of digital accessibility.  Enroll in this plan or assign it to others to understand the principles of digital accessibility, the importance of accessible content, relevant standards, and best practices, as well as design techniques for ArcGIS maps and apps to make your content more accessible.

We’ve added a new Training Seminar for Applying Accessibility in ArcGIS App Builders

Mapping and Visualizing Data in ArcGIS | Esri Training Instructor-Led Course (2-Day Course): Create high-impact maps and information products.  Learn cartographic techniques and ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Online workflows to create and share a variety of professional-quality information products, including print maps, web maps, 3D scenes, and charts.  Exercises throughout the course incorporate accessibility considerations through symbology, color ramps for color-blind readability, alt-text, and screen readers, as well as additional resources to support the unique accessibility needs of topics not covered, such as StoryMaps.

This course can be taken by individuals or as a group across your organization.  I’d be happy to work with you on options for this course!

Need more foundational support in ArcGIS first?  Check out ArcGIS Pro: Essential Workflows | Esri Training Instructor-Led Course or Migrating from ArcMap to ArcGIS Pro | Esri Training Instructor-Led Course. 

Esri Video | Accessibility Keyword: A collection of Esri Videos that contain accessibility as a tag or title keyword search.

Esri Blog | Accessibility Articles: a collection of Esri Blog posts containing information, best practices, and support for making maps more accessible.

Accessibility Resources | Accessibility Standards & Guidelines: Esri Accessibility articles and blogs will help keep you informed about accessible technology.

Accessibility - Esri Community:  Digital accessibility in GIS is important to ensure that the data presented in maps and apps is accessible to everyone.  Visit the Esri Accessibility Community and join the conversation.
