Screen readers and other assistive technologies rely on document structure\, including headings\, tags\, and reading order\, to interpret content. If that structure is unclear\, the document can become confusing or difficult to navigate. \nIn this session\, participants will learn how screen readers interpret PDF structure\, how to identify issues related to reading order and tagging\, and how to evaluate whether a document’s structure supports clear navigation. After a brief demonstration\, participants will review and analyze PDFs using built-in accessibility tools. Please bring one or two PDFs so you can apply what you learn to your own documents. \nFacilitated by: Jessica Ludders URL:/event/spring-2026-digital-accessibility-workshops-8/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:Faculty & Staff ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/LXD-Accessibility-cover-image-16x9-1.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Faculty Development Center":MAILTO:https://uma.edu/fdc END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260421T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260421T160000 DTSTAMP:20260417T155421 CREATED:20260410T134539Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260416T124001Z UID:10008813-1776783600-1776787200@www.uma.edu SUMMARY:Seen and Herd Club Weekly Meeting DESCRIPTION:The Seen and Herd Club\, Âé¶ąAPP LGBTQIA+ club\, will be facilitating weekly meetings. \nEvery Tuesday at 3 PM in Randall Student Center Room 218\, or online via Zoom.
