How many accessibility issues went live in your courses this week without anyone noticing? The Brickfield TinyMCE Accessibility Checker catches them as staff type. Brickfield Enable fixes what is already there. See both at our #ALTC26 stand. #Accessibility

Ever find yourself thinking, “What was that last point?” At #ALTC26, Scríofa is captioning sessions live. Read along on your own device, scroll back when you lose your place, and choose from 50+ languages. #Accessibility

The best accessibility improvements happen before anyone encounters a barrier. Whether it's live captions, accessible content creation, or institution-wide accessibility reporting, the goal is the same: remove obstacles before they affect learners. Find us at Stand 62 at #NCCCS. #Accessibility

Moodle Tip: Provide transcripts for audio. Text unlocks access & review. #Accessibility #BrickfieldTips

Where is your institution on its accessibility journey? Accessibility isn't a project. It's an ongoing commitment across events, content, websites, and digital services. Visit Kara Conger at Stand 62 at #NCCCS. #Accessibility

What if every conference session came with captions? Today at #NCCCS, attendees can follow sessions with live captions powered by Scríofa. Captions support concentration, note-taking, specialist terminology, second-language speakers, and accessibility for all. #Accessibility

Social Media Tip: Implement content warnings. Provide warnings for content that may trigger or upset users, allowing them to decide if they wish to engage. #Accessibility #BrickfieldTips

How much of the last conference session you attended did you actually hear? Next week at #NCCCS, nobody has to guess. Brickfield is providing live captions with Scríofa across the conference, delivered to attendees' own devices and available in 50+ languages. #Accessibility

The real goal isn't the tool. It's removing friction. For the student accessing a course. The educator creating content. The attendee following a session in a second language. Thanks for the conversations, #MootEurope26. #Accessibility #Moodle

Accessibility starts with understanding what gets in the way. Yesterday at #MootEurope26, Laia's Better by Design session explored WCAG principles before using Barrier Cards to move the conversation from standards to people, and the practical steps needed to remove barriers. #Accessibility

What does a barrier look like? A scanned PDF. An image with no alt text. A video with no captions. Most aren't created deliberately. That's why tools should support content creators as they work. Chat with Laia at #MootEurope26 and pick up an accessibility tip cube. #Moodle #Accessibility

Accessibility is easier when barriers are caught early. Visit the Brickfield stand at #Learnovation2026 to see how our accessibility solutions help content creators identify issues as they write and help organisations improve accessibility across published content. #Accessibility

What if the problem is not the reader, but the way we write? Dyslexia Awareness Week runs 5 to 11 October. This year @BDAdyslexia is focusing on dyslexia at work. The barrier is in the design, not the person. zurl.co/wAKRe #DyslexiaAwarenessWeek #Accessibility

What happens when someone cannot use your website? Accessibility is a quality issue, not a specialist concern. WP Accessibility Day is a free 24-hour online event on 7 and 8 October, with live captions and recordings. Register: zurl.co/ZrgDS #Accessibility #WordPress
