"Remediating PDFs is my most favorite thing" is a sentence I mever thought I'd ever 1) knew what it meant, and 2) meant!! 😄😄
I'm sitting here blown away that after I spend time making SmartArt in Microsoft PowerPoint that I still have to fill in alt text because it's not otherwise viewable by a screen reader. Am I missing something??
I'm getting really frustrated with Microsoft PowerPoint because almost of the SmartArt styles fail WCAG 2.1 guidelines for color contrast. Is there a way to change the font color that I am just overlookking?

I am enjoying the heck out of the Visual Design Workshop at #AdobeELearningWorld2021 right now. All I've ever wanted was someone to walk through Photoshop projects while I could ask questions! 😊🙃🧠

Flux pedagogy is an emerging teaching framework that supports educators and helps them embrace an adaptive, anti-racist, healing-centered approach to teaching that views classrooms (even virtual ones) as important centers of belonging, care, and justice. bit.ly/3hsWRXU

According to the U.S. Dept. of Education, 1 out of 3 college students took at least one online class in 2018, representing 6.95 million learners. The pandemic created a shift in demand for online courses. Are you ready to meet your learners where they are? bit.ly/3C7Z6I7
