Online Accessibility Course Accessible Online

Tom Worthington's certificate of completion
for the Accessibility Fundamentals course
from Intopia, 18 May 2026
In support of Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD), the ANU College of Systems and Society invited staff to compete a short Intopia Accessibility fundamentals online course. The course has a similar format to the "AI Literacy for All", from Digital Education Council, which I recently completed. But fortunately, the Intopia course is much, much shorter, and has closed captions, as well as transcripts for the short videos. This gives a brief introduction as to why accessibility is important and how to do it. 

The Sydney Olympics web accessibility case is mentioned in the course. As it happens I was one of the expert witnesses presenting evidence in the case. Not due to my expertise, but I was free, had a suit, & no conflict of interest. ;-)

The Beijing Olympic committee then invited me over to talk about it.
