If we were to comply with the WAI WCAG guidelines to this particular assessment it would have been necessary to amend the assessment to add ALT text to the images. However doing so would have changed the pedagogic purpose of the assessment and would not have tested that the students have acquired the stated learning outcomes.

  Accessibility efforts can actually hinder a learning module (e.g. if alt text gives the "answer" the student is supposed to figure out)

Group access extension: JUGA is Joomla component that allows you additional control over what content is available to which users. It is NOT A HACK (like JACL); JUGA installs and uninstalls *easily* as a component. To activate/de-activate it, install and publish/unpublish the JUGA Mambot. After installing JUGA, merely synchronize it's table with your site's components and content. Then, define which items each group has access to. After assigning users to JUGA groups, activate the Mambot and voila!

Dojo developer Becky Gibson and Knowbility Executive Director Sharron Rush demo'd this JavdScript toolkit at SXSW09. Although you wouldn't know it from the site's homepage, evidently it has a lot of great accessibility options built into the tool.

I really like Morville's user experience honeycomb which goes beyond usability to include usefulness, credibility, findability, accessibility, etc.

Wow, very interesting. The numbers tell the story of the browser use declining. The great increase was social media; people still use the browser on a computer to access the social media site. They don't download a Facebook application to install on their computer-they use the browser. But mobile-wise, that's a different beast. I still think we should create a site that is accessible to mobile devices rather than create an app. I think in the coming years, though, iOS/Android developers will probably be job positions here at UT. Great post, thanks for sharing.

I take issue with focusing on the amount of time spent in apps vs. mobile web. If you look at the breakdown, 68% of app time is on pure entertainment activities like gaming, social media and YouTube. Which makes total sense that people spend a disproportionate amount of time on those things. Plus that guy looks really annoying!

Repetition, even in graphic design, is okay, I promise. It's the way human beings learn. The perception is that if something is included on the page once, especially in an obvious fashion, there's no reason to repeat it elsewhere.

A handy site on which you can view your own files in relation to the various types of color blindness. In my experience with the site, the option to view your images online is better than the option to download the plug-ins. The plug-ins kept crashing for me. But your experience may be different.

This is a Chrome extension that will resize your browser window to the break points in the code of the current site you are viewing. Those sites without breakpoints show a blank window in the extension. Responsive Inspector is helpful to see all of the breakpoints a particular site uses. Some have several breakpoints, other sites have just a few. It's a good learning tool. It's a wee bit buggy sometimes, but it's being updated regularly. If this link does not work, just search for "Responsive Inspector" in the Chrome browser Extensions.

Adobe's Project Mighty and Project Napoleon are cloud enabled hardware. They enable a designer to carry his style anywhere he can access Adobe's cloud. Mighty is the stylus. Napoleon is the "shape tool". The stylus, among other things, can create a Kuler color profile from your iPhone, then paste that profile onto your iPad. You can cut & paste across multiple devices. The future of design is giving designers the ability to create at the same professional quality while on the road as they do when there at their desks.
