PDF: Unfit for Human Consumption - 0 views

  •  
    Summary: Users get lost inside PDF files, which are typically big, linear text blobs that are optimized for print and unpleasant to read and navigate online. PDF is good for printing, but that's it. Don't use it for online presentation.

H810-13I: Topic 36 Tutor Group Forum - 0 views

  • It's particularly problematic where groups are formed of 'fence-sitters'. It only takes a few nay-sayers and the collective goal is thrown into question. The brokers have to be very persuasive, and well-prepared, in order to keep those on side.

The Fischbowl: Is It Okay To Be A Technologically Illiterate Teacher? - 0 views

  • 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.

The robots are coming. Will they bring wealth or a divided society? | Technology | The ... - 0 views

  •  
    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.

WebAIM: WCAG 2.0 - Polishing the rough edges - 1 views

  • I see no problem with the allowance for alternative versions. Disallowing alternatives will do little for accessibility. Which is better, an inaccessible simulation and an accessible alternative or nothing? If a developer cannot build anything because one version would be inaccessible, then we have no accessibility.

WAI-ARIA FAQ - 0 views

  • 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.
  •  
    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.

TrainingForce | Are Narrated PowerPoint Presentations Really Training? - 0 views

  •  
    Deliver the PowerPoint as a finished product. In other words, display the presentation embedded in a web browser window. Avoid forcing students to download the presentation onto their computer if at all possible.  Downloading presents all kinds of problems - for example, what happens with embedded audio and video files.
