Creating accessible content... what to avoid! Penny Everett, Web Accessibility consultant This is an awareness session with audience participation. We will be looking at the impact on a group of disabled users if content is not accessible. Placing content on an eLearning platform or website is often not the main part of a Content Author’s role. As a consequence of this they may not be aware of the effect they are having on their disabled users.	Creating accessible content... what to avoid!
