Digital Accessibility for Academics: Basic Skills Workshop

Basics of accessibility for digital and print documents; tips and tools for academics. This workshop was presented on January 31, 2024 for the Center for the Humanities.

Tables

Tables are generally NOT accessible and should NOT be used to give structure to text.

  • To make a table accessible, you should include header rows and columns. This lets the screen reader know that in any cell what its relationship is to the information presented.
  • You should also include a caption in case the person selects the table independently of the page's structure (i.e.: if they are skipping around or skimming).
