On January 16, Moveable Online and EDge Interactive conducted a webinar for Ontario-based colleges and universities about the recently implemented AODA (Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act) legislation and what they will need to do to ensure that their website is compliant with the latest AODA accessibility laws in Ontario.
The Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) was introduced in 2005. Over the past nine years, businesses and organizations in Ontario have been required to change certain practices at their physical locations to assist people with disabilities.
Now, as of January 1, 2014, guidelines for website compliance are mandatory, forcing many Ontario-based organizations – including universities and colleges – to ensure their sites are compliant with the new standards or face substantial fines.
Below are the slides from the webinar, which includes information on:
- AODA and Ontario Laws
- Website Accessibility Requirements
- Strategies, Services and Solutions for Compliance
