Class Description
Drupal 7 & Web Accessibility Basic Training
Note: Training is mandatory for all new editors.
The Drupal 7 & Web Accessibility Training class focuses on teaching editors how to create basic pages, upload graphics, make links and use menus. Training includes an overview of the AODA and how to post accessible content. This training is aimed at employees with little previous experience with the system.
