During the session, we will discuss potential ideas and examples of projects, and there will be plenty of time for questions. Once you select your project topic, you’ll submit a project proposal. You’ll then be assigned a DAS team member who will work with you to develop a project timeline and be your point of contact during the project. NOTE: The Orientation session will be recorded, so if you're interested in enrolling in Digital Accessibility Level II but are unable to attend the Orientation, you'll be able to watch the recording.
