    Reading this article in the Guardian got me thinking that Seale is missing an important factor for change that lies outside her suggested theories and frameworks; the increasing pace of technological advancement. There will positive (and many negative) consequences but we will likely be having very different debates about accessibility in 5 years time.

    A good report asking us to shift the focus from accessibility to technology to inclusive technology - asking the govt to add alt texxt to all images is pointless - focus on universal design, awareness raising, tax incentives, user testing.

  • If a teacher today is not technologically literate - and is unwilling to make the effort to learn more - it's equivalent to a teacher 30 years ago who didn't know how to read and write.

WAI-ARIA FAQ - 0 views

shared by Kev Harland on 01 Dec 13 - No Cached
  • WAI-ARIA 1.0 is currently a W3C "Candidate Recommendation".
  • Developing custom, cross-browser JavaScript widgets is more complex, and implementing WAI-ARIA in these is proportionally more complex.
  • "WAI-ARIA" is the abbreviation for the Accessible Rich Internet Applications documents. In order to avoid confusion, please use "WAI-ARIA" (instead of just "ARIA"), at least in titles, headings, and on first reference in documentation.
  • Kev Harland on 01 Dec 13
     
    WAI-ARIA is already supported in several browsers and assistive technologies (even though it is not finalized yet). Once WAI-ARIA is stable, WAI will collect and publish a list of WAI-ARIA implementations, that is, what supports WAI-ARIA. Some information on WAI-ARIA support is already available on other Web sites.

    Switch Control is one of many great new accessibility features in iOS 7. Switch Control will allow a whole new group of people (switch users) access to the iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch. Like all of Apple's accessibility features Switch Control is available on all iOS 7 devices and works out-of-the-box.

  • If you absolutely must use a server-side image map, always place redundant text links adjacent to the map so someone with a screen reader, or someone who can't use a mouse, can access the links.

      NCAM Guidelines. Might also be used to justify other kind of redundant links
  • If an image is merely used to set atmosphere or provide decoration, it is not always necessary or even desirable to provide a description. In such cases it is best to give that image a null description, such as null alt, as demonstrated below. (A null description informs assistive technologies that the graphic does not need description. If no description [e.g., no alt] at all is included, assistive technologies may announce an unlabeled graphic, leading the user to wonder what is missing.)
