Thursday, May 17, is Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD). The purpose of GAAD is to get everyone talking, thinking and learning about digital (web, software, mobile, etc.) access/inclusion and people with different disabilities.

To celebrate this day, CELT will be offering a workshop called "Course, Document, and Web Accessibility Checkers: Open Up the Web to All of Your Students".
