Accessibility in L&D with Susi Miller

The Assembly

In this episode of The Assembly, host Brigid sits down with Susi Miller, an internationally recognised expert in e-learning accessibility and the award-winning author of Designing Accessible Learning Content. With over 30 years of experience, Susi breaks down the essentials of creating digital learning that is not just compliant, but truly inclusive and effective for all learners.

Together, Brigid and Susi unpack:

1. The true meaning of accessibility—moving beyond compliance to create genuinely equitable experiences.
2. Why up to 25% of your workforce may be facing learning barriers you don’t even know about.
3. Practical, real-world examples of accessible design for sight, hearing, motor, and cognitive needs.
4. How embracing accessibility leads to innovation and better learning design for everyone.
5. The power of "Quiet Access-ability" and making an impact, one learner at a time.
6. Actionable starting points for practitioners, including the "progress over perfection" mindset.

Whether you're an instructional designer, an L&D leader, or anyone creating digital content, this episode is an essential guide to understanding why accessibility must be the default, not an afterthought.
