- Incorporating Headings
- Using Lists where possible
- Always adding Alt Text to images
- Identifying the document language
- Using Tables Wisely
- Understanding how to export from one format to another

Email accessibility operates off the same basic steps of document accessibility, but there are a few additional steps that can be taken to ensure the highest possible accessibility. Highly contrasting font and background colors, as well as clear fonts and including images as attachments to emails can all help. For department emails, there are a number of templates available that ensure accessibility.
Video Accessibility
Video accessibility is increased by the use of captions and by ensuring that audio and visual quality are such that the video is clear and easy to follow. CIS provides a tutorial on how to assess audio quality in TechSmith RelayPanopto. Learn how to caption TechSmith Relay videosherePanopto videos following the embedded link.
Web Content Accessibility
Increasing the accessibility of web content follows many of the same principles of that of documents and email. This can be done with headings, alternative texts for images, high contrast and easy-to-read fonts, and clear formatting, as opposed to large blocks of text.
