			<br>
	'''Description''': Designing an interactive online experience with multimedia content relies on several components to ensure accessibility. In this webinar, you will learn how to evaluate the most essential accessibility components for multimedia, as referenced in the W3C Web Content (WCAG) and User Agent Accessibility Guidelines (UAAG). User needs vary widely so the level of customization afforded by the user agent (e.g., browser, standalone player, or app) should match those user needs, preferences, and expectations. Such needs may include an adjustable playback rate, customizable appearance of captions, or focus indicators. Knowing your audience will inform your decision-making as you select which media player or platform to use.

	'''Description''': ~~One~~ of the ~~key components~~ of ~~ensuring~~ accessibility ~~takes place during~~ the ~~procurement process.

In addition, without the proper vetting, the purchaser can and~~ will be ~~held liable should a formal complaint be filed. The 508 Refresh in 2018, combined with~~ the ~~recent updates to the Web Content~~ Accessibility Guidelines ~~(WCAG) standards, sheds light on the need to establish policies, procedures~~, and ~~consistency when procuring accessible Information and Communication Technology (ICT). However~~, ~~not everyone shares the same ideas regarding accessibility. You may be asking: What is an accessibility compliance review? How~~ do ~~we prioritize products and services? How do I validate products? Join us~~ to ~~learn about the accessibility testing process~~, ~~as well as the responsibilities of both the vendor~~ and the ~~procuring institution in ensuring accessibility for all~~.		'''Description''': Center for Inclusive Design and Innovation at Georgia Tech, on behalf of AccessGA, is offering a free 1-hour webinar on the topic of video accessibility. In this presentation, we will look at the guidelines established by WCAG in regards to video media accessibility and discuss how you can go beyond satisfactory compliance and into a fully inclusive and accessible product. Areas that will be covered include the basics of WCAG Video Accessibility Guidelines, how captioning and video description meets these guidelines, what you can do to meet those guidelines, and how and why you should go above the AA requirements.
