Microcredential in Accessibility to Information and Communication

This micro-credential offers an introduction to accessibility to information and communication. It presents key concepts in the field of diversity, accessibility and universal design, aimed at creators or professionals who want to create content for everyone and at professionals in the public and private sectors (culture, education, local councils, etc.) who want to incorporate accessibility into their work.
