Build on your foundational knowledge and strengthen your accessibility skills through guided practice. The University of Maine System’s Accessible Digital Content Level 2: Training and Practice is a 10-hour self-paced, hands-on learning experience designed to help learners apply the accessibility concepts introduced in Level 1.

Through structured exercises and independent practice activities, participants will work with sample digital materials to apply the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) and explore common accessibility challenges across formats. By the end of the course, learners will be more confident in evaluating digital content, identifying accessibility issues, and practicing appropriate adjustments in preparation for real-world application. Successful completion of this course earns the Accessible Digital Content Level 2 badge, recognizing the learner’s growing skills and readiness to move into applied accessibility work.

• Apply the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) when reviewing and practicing accessibility techniques across common digital content types, including documents, images, video, and audio
