Looking for something to do Saturday morning, August 6? How about
registering for my FLEAT 5 pre-conference workshop "Curb Cuts in the
Digital Language Lab"? It's workshop #52 at
http://ce.byu.edu/cw/fleat5/2005/pre-conf.dhtm
In the first hour of the workshop we'll discuss general accessibility
issues, including research on the most common (and easiest to fix)
accessibility errors and how they affect access for a variety of devices
including handheld computers. In the last two hours we'll have a mix of
demonstration and hands-on practice during which participants search for
their institution's web accessibility policy (or adopt one on the fly),
select one of their institution's web sites for testing, check pages on
their chosen site using WAVE and Bobby (free online web accessibility
checkers), and check them using Mozilla Firefox with Web Developer
Extension and Opera Browser (also free). Time permitting, we'll look at how
to activate Dreamweaver accessibility features and try a few easy
techniques for fixing common accessibility errors.
I presented a session on web accessibility at IALLT 2003 in Ann Arbor and
several participants indicated they would like a longer preconference
workshop on this topic at the next IALLT conference. I didn't collect any
names at the time, so this is the only I way I know to contact potential
attendees.
Please let me know if you have any questions about what we're planning to
do during the workshop.
Looking forward to seeing everyone in Provo!
