"If you want your website to be accessible there are two things you absolutely have to do: Specify that accessibility is essential in your requirements definition. Arrange that the site is tested for accessibility. The first requires a bit more than just saying "the site must be accessible" but there are lots of examples of such requirements and people who can help you write them. However, the second is much more difficult because: Defining what needs to be tested is complex: what disabilities, what functions, what assistive technology,

"Audio and video podcasts are not accessible to deaf (audio) or blind (video) individuals. Accessibility of emerging technologies is always an issue that I try to deal with early on in the process of rolling it out. Being at a diverse university, and it is highly important that all that my team does be usable and accessible. We set up a usability testing lab last year and incorporated accessibility testing equipment/software as well. We run our web sites and applications through rigorous testing, but what to do with podcasts? There are a couple ways

Accessibility languages and techniques can only function so far as the user understands them. In addition to that, features can be maximized with awareness. "The virtual buffer is referred to as Virtual PC Cursor mode in JAWS.

There would appear to be a certain amount of confusion about the terms "metadata" and "meta tags" - I know that it has confused me in the past so I am hoping that this article may make things a little more clear for those who are struggling with these meta-things. Metadata As this article is being written for a newsletter focusing on accessibility, let's start by looking at meta-things in this context. Checkpoint 13.2 of WCAG10 tells us to: Provide metadata to add semantic information to pages and sites. What does this mean? Let's start by defining

Article from the Isolani Blog... If you TRULY think that Flash is accessible, then you have just lost any credibility with me (as a professional web developer). Show me how Flash is accessible (to everyone, not just disabilities). It requires a plugin, and is virtually blind to a very important visitor - the search bot. Flash STILL has not come up to par with being optimized with searching and search engines. Flash tries to replace the medium itself and remove the browser. Though some of these are due to poor development practices, please show me

The research on Virtual Reality being carried out at VRLAB is around the topic of multimodal human-computer interaction in virtual environments. We focus mainly on developing new interaction metaphors integrating 3D sound, stereo visualization, and force feedback, towards more intuitive and immersive systems for several applications. Multimodal Interactive VR Systems One of the investigated topics concerns the use of intelligent avatars (or autonomous virtual assistants) to efficiently perform tasks in cooperation with the user. In this context,

In a sense, nobody is in charge of the web. The web is an open standard, with no restrictions on who can post content, or what that content should be about. The web belongs to everybody, and so it belongs to nobody. The openness and decentralization of the web is one of its greatest strengths. But it wouldn't work at all without some sort of standard way of encoding the information. That's where the World Wide Web consortium (W3C) comes in. The W3C is an international, vendor-neutral group that determines the protocols and standards for the web. They

Human interactions are multimodal in nature. From simple to complex forms of transferal of information, human beings draw on a multiplicity of communicative modes, such as intonation and gaze, to make sense of everyday experiences. Likewise, the learning process, either within traditional classrooms or Virtual Learning Environments, is shaped by learners' perceptions of what is being communicated multimodally to them intentionally or not, and by the perceptible pedagogical affordances of the environment. This paper examines the specific place of

Purpose Web sites, just like buildings, can be designed to meet the needs of all people, including those with disabilities. Unfortunately, many (if not most) current web pages and web-based resources contain major access barriers. This site aspires to be a clearinghouse for studies involving the collection of accessibility data pertaining to web sites and online resources in education, particularly in higher education.
