Designing for Accessibility: Publishing Compliant Content in Pressbooks
Wed February 18, 2026 @ 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm GMT
In this webinar, the Pressbooks team will walk through how to create and maintain accessible publications using Pressbooks, combining platform tools with practical, real-world best practices.
You’ll get a guided tour of Pressbooks Accessibility Assist, including a demonstration of the Authoring Tool (available now) and the upcoming Scanner Tool and Network Book Scanner designed to help institutions assess accessibility at scale. Along the way, we’ll show how these tools fit into everyday publishing workflows for instructors, librarians, and institutions.
The session will include a show-and-tell walkthrough followed by an open, interactive conversation where attendees can ask questions, share strategies, and learn from peers across the Pressbooks community.
Whether you’re preparing for new accessibility requirements or looking to strengthen existing practices, this session will help you move forward with confidence.
By the end of this webinar, attendees will be able to:
- Understand the core principles of accessibility compliance as they apply to Pressbooks-published content
- Use Pressbooks Accessibility Assist to identify and address accessibility issues during the authoring process
- Learn how the Network Book Scanner will support network-wide accessibility reviews and compliance efforts
- Apply practical best practices for creating accessible OER and digital learning materials
- Engage with peers to exchange tips, challenges, and workflows for accessibility at scale
