It’s good practice to make things accessible. From equipment to electronic documents, making sure everyone can access an item or information is a universally beneficial choice. And now that so many people, agencies and organizations use social media, it’s vital to ensure that the information you’re posting, whether through Facebook, Twitter, YouTube or some other platform, is readable by all users.
Queens University in Ontario Canada has recently created a great series of tips for users of many social media platforms – Social Media Accessibility – Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. For anyone using social media, whether personally or professionally, this provides great tips on captioning video, alt texting images, properly/accessibly constructing tweets, and much more.
Now, go forth and learn. And wow your friends (and colleagues) with how much you know about accessibility!
