Accessibility isn’t just a checklist—it’s a mindset shift.

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Nicole L’Etoile, a Learning Experience Designer and passionate accessibility consultant, to explore practical ways to incorporate accessibility into our workflows.

We discuss why accessibility matters for everyone, how to use plain language, and essential tools to make your learning content more inclusive.

If you’ve ever wondered where to start with accessibility or how to make your online content accessible without feeling overwhelmed, this episode is for you!

💡 In this conversation, we cover:

• Why accessibility is more than compliance—it’s about human connection
• The four key principles of web accessibility (Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, Robust)
• How to advocate for accessibility in organizations that don’t prioritize it
• The power of plain language and tools to simplify complex content
• Practical steps for making your e-learning content, LMS courses, and videos accessible
• Why accessibility benefits all learners, not just those with disabilities

Want to go deeper and apply these principles to your own work? Join the next cohort of Making Online Content Accessible for All starting April 7th!
