Training Opportunities for Everyone

Starting in May 2008, the Information Technology Accessibility Initiative (ITaccess) began training sessions to aide in addressing accessibility problems on the UIUC campus. A training repository that includes sessions as lectures, hands-on, and online are part of the current ITaccess workplan.

Training Announcement Listserv

A new listserv has been developed for announcements of ITaccess training. Individuals from UIUC who have previously attended training have been added to this list. If you would like to be added to the list complete the information on the listserv homepage at: https://listserv.illinois.edu/wa.cgi?SUBED1=itaccess-training&A=1. You may also request to be part of the list by sending an email to Christy at clblew@illinois.edu.

If you are not from UIUC and would like to be added to our training announcements, you will be added to the ICITA information list.

Checking Your PDF for Accessibility

When you have a PDF file and not the original document, you cannot be sure if it has been designed in a way that is usable by all, including those with disabilities. This online session will take a PDF document and, through Adobe Acrobat Pro, show how you can evaluate its accessibility. Free session that will also be archived for later review.
