  • Least You Need to Know
    Accessibility Maintainers of WebLearn sites need to be aware of accessibility issues, for users with various types of impairment Why are accessibility issues important? Have you ever experienced problems such as Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI), sore eyes, headaches, back or shoulder aches from long term use of a computer? Are you perhaps colour blind, have a touch of dyslexia, or need magnification of the computer screen? Are you sensitive to screen flashing due to photo-sensitive epilepsy? It is not only major sensory impairments such as vision or hearing disabilities which impede people in their use of technology. In many cases, assistive/adaptive/access technology (AT) can be used to enable or facilitate the use, navigation, creation or completion of electronic materials (such as web pages, online forms, Internet services and products) that would be inaccessible by conventional means. Assistive technologies include screen readers (such as JAWS, ReadPlease, BrowseAloud) or screen enlargers (magnifiers), voice recognition systems, alternative input devices such as eye or head operated pointing devices. The Opera browser now includes voice-enabled shopping and booking systems and spoken commands to browse the web. What types of impairments need to be considered? It helps to classify types of impairments in order be able to address differing needs (AbilityNet (www.abilitynet.org.uk) • Vision – including blindness, partial sightedness, colour blindness and tunnel vision • Hearing – deaf and partial hearing • Headings are an absolute Mobility problems – RSI, problems with using hands or arms asset – you can key through • Cognitive, mental problems – including dyslexia, learning problems them by ‘arrowing down’ A quotation from a blind person browsing internet sites with the help of a screen reader: (using the down arrow on the keyboard) Holistic approach to web design Build your Content first (in a simple, linear layout), add styling on top of that (e.g.

  • Webaim Campus Training Session 2
    WebAIM Campus Training-Session 2 OK, another aspect of accessibility for users with low vision is ensuring that there is sufficient contrast between the text content and the background. This is something that impacts everybody. We all have difficulty reading content if there is insufficient contrast. It is important to keep in mind that ultimately the end user has control over the way they view your web content. They can change colors. They can invert contrast. They can enable high contrast to override your colors to view content in a way that works best for them. So keep that in mind. This is always something that they can do. That idea that we fully control the user experience-- we have to give that up. We have to give up that notion that we control what the user is going to see or what they're going to do. What we want to do instead is to enable a good experience. If the user comes and they customize, they adapt the content for their own needs, what we have provided still is going to work for them. To ensure that you provide sufficient contrast, WCAG does define this for you. They provide some measures. All you have to do is implement this very basic formula, and just put this in your memory banks and you'll be good. No, you don't want to be doing this complex math to determine if your content has sufficient contrast. You want to use tools like the WebAIM Contrast Checker. This is a tool that we've built.

  • Administrative Structure of the Program
    The Clute Institute International Academic Conference Paris, France 2013 Enacting The Spirit Of The United Nations Convention On The Rights Of Persons With Disabilities: The Role Of Postsecondary Faculty In Ensuring Access Irene M. Duranczyk, University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, USA Karen A. Myers, Saint Louis University, USA Ellyn K. Couillard, Mercer University, USA Sara Schoen, University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, USA Jeanne L. Higbee, University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, USA Abstract Nations throughout the world have signed the United Nations (UN) Convention on the Rights of Persons With Disabilities. Many postsecondary educators support the ideals of access and equity for students with disabilities, but have received no training in how to ensure that these goals are achieved. This paper introduces the concepts of universal design and universal instructional design and provides specific guidelines for general communication and for creating accessible classrooms, lectures or presentations, documents, media, websites, and distance education courses. Keywords: access, inclusion, disabilities Introduction Article 24 of the United Nations (UN; 2006) Convention on the Rights of Persons With Disabilities addresses education; it “States Parties recognize the right of persons with disabilities to education. With a view to realizing this right without discrimination and on the basis of equal opportunity, States Parties shall ensure an inclusive education system at all levels . .” Although Article 24 further states that “appropriate measures” will be taken “to train professionals and staff who work at all levels of education,” in many nations professional development for all postsecondary faculty related to “disability awareness and the use of appropriate augmentative and alternative modes, means and formats of communication, educational techniques and materials to support persons with disabilities” is not as yet a reality.
