L&D Pathway: Accessibility

The Accessibility pathway is designed to address the crucial aspect of inclusivity in digital products and services. Accessibility ensures that technology is usable and accessible to all individuals, regardless of their abilities or disabilities. In this pathway, we explore the fundamental principles of inclusive design and the implementation of accessibility standards across various platforms and applications. From web accessibility guidelines to mobile app accessibility best practices, the pathway covers a comprehensive range of topics. By promoting awareness and understanding of accessibility, we aim to empower developers, designers, and stakeholders to create more inclusive and user-friendly digital experiences. Additionally, this pathway offers elective resources that allow learners to delve deeper into specific accessibility topics, further enhancing their expertise and contributing to a more inclusive digital landscape.
