Why You Can't Discuss Online Learning Without Discussing Video
Accessibility; But What's Really Required?

By Justin Beck.

"...The Harvard, MIT, and Netflix cases all make it clear that any
public-facing materials must be properly captioned. This is no longer
a nice-to-have: any campus that is not working on getting all of its
public-facing materials captioned to ADA-508 compliance is sitting on
a ticking time bomb. This isn't just a matter of academic materials,
either: schools should be looking at their marketing materials, alumni
relations, and campus news videos as well..."

Responses To The Screen Reader Strategy Survey

By Heydon Pickering.

"In September of last year, I decided I wanted to hear stories about
how screen reader users access The Web. I suspected, as a sighted web
user, I made a lot of incorrect assumptions. Accordingly, I composed
seven questions to find out about strategies for reading and
operation..."

screen-reader-strategy-survey-4356ef521715



Unlabelled Search Fields

By Jeremy Keith.

"Adam Silver is writing a book on forms-you may be familiar with his
previous book on maintainable CSS. In a recent article (that for some
reason isn't on his blog), he looks at markup patterns for search
forms and advocates that we should always use a label. I agree. But
for some reason, we keep getting handed designs that show unlabelled
search forms..."

The Tech Industry Is in Desperate Need of an Accessibility Upgrade

By Cameron Glover.

"Despite its universal appeal, tech still has a long way to go when it
comes to properly including marginalized individuals into the creation
and development process, as well as recognizing them as an important
part of the user demographic."

An Introduction To Sass Data Types, Operators, and Functions

By Steven Bradley.

"I'm the last person to call myself a programmer, but I have learned
the basics of a handful of programming languages over the years. One

the markup or code. This tutorial outlines how to create accessible
web content in Dreamweaver..."

+05: EVALUATION & TESTING.



The Two Questions We Answer With User Research

By David Travis.

"Fundamentally, all user research answers one of two questions: (a)
Who are our users and what are they trying to do? (b) Can people use
the thing we've designed to solve their problem? You answer the first
question with a field visit and you answer the second question with a
usability test."

experiences, composed of visual, tonal and behavioral brand
components, many of which are shaped by interaction design."
