Removing Barriers – Accessibility Training for MS Teams

April 13, 2021 - Defence Stories

We are proud to announce that the Department of National Defence is providing Defence 365 (D365) Microsoft Teams accessibility training. These training sessions are available to all personnel, and especially useful for those who conduct regular meetings or use collaboration tools.

During this training, Microsoft will cover the accessibility features available in D365. Learn how to create more accessible content and drastically improve the experience of those requiring additional accommodation in areas such as:

• Accessibility Hearing
• Accessibility Vision
• Cognitive Abilities / Neurodiversity

ADM(IM) is sharing this training to encourage the delivery of services that enable everyone to participate fully in their workplace without barriers. Defence Team members are encouraged to participate in Microsoft’s 90 min accessibility training session and ask questions.
