COVID-19 A Year in Review with Karen McCall

Join us Friday, March 26, 2021, at 12:00 noon for a lunchtime session with accessibility specialist Karen McCall.

Karen joined us last March 2020 and presented on the digital divide that persons with disabilities were suddenly facing because of the pandemic crisis and quarantine. Karen is back again to explore COVID-19, A Year in Review.

Karen will review where we are now and how the digital environment has pivoted to meet (or continue to not meet) the needs of persons with disabilities.

We invite you to join the conversation. Karen will present for 30 minutes and then we'll invite you to share your digital experience. Come prepared to share with us what is working and what is continuing to be an accessibility and usability challenge in the digital environment.
