Selfish Accessibility: Presented at Google

Learn some fundamentals of accessibility and how it can benefit you (whether future you from aging or you after something else limits your abilities). We’ll review differing abilities, generate (minimal) user stories and personas, discuss best practices for design and development, prototype some ideas (on paper), and discuss where to get help. This isn’t intended to be a deep dive into technologies, but more of an overall primer for those who aren’t sure where to start with accessibility nor how it helps them.

We can all pretend that we’re helping others by making web sites and software accessible, but we are really making them better for our future selves.

This document summarizes a workshop on creating accessible websites. It covers why accessibility is important, common accessibility issues, and how to address them. The workshop teaches that accessibility should be considered throughout the design process by following web standards, learning accessibility guidelines, and using testing tools. Universal design principles aim to make digital content usable by all people.

This document discusses accessible design and provides best practices for creating accessible websites. It explains that accessibility is important for people with disabilities, both temporary and permanent. The key aspects of accessible design are supporting the content, functionality, and providing access for everyone. Common mistakes like low color contrast, hard to read typography, and lack of structure are identified. The document then outlines a workflow for accessible design that includes selecting content formats, creating a semantic layout, styling text elements first without color, then adding color, and creating style guides. Resources for further information on accessible design are also provided.

If you are aware of accessibility practices, you may know some of the basics for supporting users (labels, contrast, alt text). I'll touch on some newer or more obscure techniques that can help prime you to look at the new hotness features with a more critical eye. Instead of pushing stricly code techniques, I’ll review the logic behind these approaches (which you can refute, checking off that elusive audience participation selling point!). We'll discuss the search role, language attribute, <main> element, infinite scroll, page zoom, source order, and as much as I can squeeze in before I am chased from the room.

Web Accessibility is an important issue, and must be practiced by everyone. I hope this presentation is useful!!

The document provides accessibility tips and best practices for web development. It discusses using alt text for images so that content is still understandable without images. It recommends using proper heading structure without skipping levels and only one <h1> per page. It also suggests using HTML5 semantic elements like <header>, <nav>, and <main> which are beneficial for accessibility. The document emphasizes following the natural tab order on pages and not manually adjusting the tabindex attribute. It also recommends allowing zooming on mobile pages rather than disabling it.

Presentation given to students on the Bachelor in Web Development degree at the Business Academy Southwest (https://www.easv.dk/en) in Esbjerg, Denmark on the 17th November 2017.

If you're familiar with accessibility, you may know some of the basics already. We'll review some newer or more obscure techniques that can help prime you to look at the new hotness features with a more critical eye.

If you're like the 2016 version of me, then you think you have a decent handle on web accessibility. You put alt attributes on all your images (though you don't give much thought to the actual text) and you make sure your sites can be used with a keyboard (except for overlays sometimes). Then the day comes when you're given an accessibility audit from a client and a deadline for all issues to be fixed. What is high contrast mode, you ask yourself, and why does it matter if these links are implemented in a list? The fact is that we take for granted that people are able to use the sites we create. As governments pass legislation enforcing accessible standards, the web is playing catch up to the physical spaces we use every day. User interfaces are becoming more sophisticated, and it's easy for developers & designers without disabilities to overlook the simple things that many rely on to make sense of your site. In this presentation I'll share some of the hard lessons I've learned over the past few years, from both a development and a project management perspective. Topics discussed will include an overview of common accessibility problems, tools I use to validate accessibility issues, and best practices for training your team.

This document discusses the concept of reduction in information architecture and design. It provides examples of how an intended reduction can backfire and create cognitive overload, such as a produce weighing machine that required the user to remember multiple produce numbers. Throughout the document, principles of reduction are explored, such as minimizing choices, categorizing information, and consistency across channels to reduce effort. The takeaways emphasized reducing user effort through simplification and organization while maintaining important options.

Web accessibility is about creating web content, design, and tools that can be used by everyone regardless of ability. Web accessibility is the need for websites to utilize tools and technologies developed to aid the perception, understanding, contribution, navigation, and interaction of a person with disabilities on the site. Integrating accessibility can seem intimidating to those that are just getting acquainted with it, but it is a vital element of user experience. Accessibility should be built into the web development and design process, rather than trying to retrofit it as an afterthought.

This document provides an overview of accessibility with a focus on visual impairments. It discusses different types of impairments including blindness, color blindness, mobility issues, and learning difficulties. Specific guidance is given around color blindness, including statistics on prevalence and examples of how websites appear to those who are color blind. Screen readers like JAWS are explained, including how they are used to navigate web pages. Common accessibility errors are also outlined. The challenges of addressing accessibility as an agency are acknowledged.

APM Webinar hosted by the Thames Valley Branch on 14 March 2024. Speaker: Jade Matos Carew, Head of Digital, Accessibility and Usability, The Open University What is digital accessibility? (Spoiler: it’s making sure we design and develop websites, systems, and digital content and experiences which are accessible by everyone – including disabled users.) This webinar was held on 14 March 2024. We took a look at the principles behind it and why it’s vital (and often overlooked) in today’s organisations. We thought about how it can benefit staff, clients and customers, and how ensuring best practice in digital accessibility can act as a strong foundation to help to foster an inclusive and diverse organisational culture. We also considered the practical challenges which are faced when embedding best practice in digital accessibility into ways of working, and how applying change management principles can provide an effective toolkit for approaching and assisting with this. The Equality Act (2010) broadly protects certain characteristics, including the rights of disabled people so that everyone can have equal access to participate in society. This includes online and digital spaces, and it’s therefore vital to make sure that our organisations, services, digital content, and ways of working are set up in the right way to accommodate the needs of a diverse audience so that everyone can feel included and engaged. This includes considering best practice in a wide range of contexts – from the documents you make and use, the websites you build, the development cycles you follow, to the IT solutions you procure, and the online meetings you host. Good digital accessibility is more than just meeting our legal obligations, it’s the right thing to do. Without an inclusive approach, you could be at risk of excluding people, whether that’s team members, or potential customers. There are principles, standards, and best practice which we need to follow, and these can often take a certain amount of time, effort, and expertise to interpret, but you don’t have to be an expert to get to grips with the basics. The journey to becoming more accessible is exactly, that – a journey rather than a quick fix. There are ways in which you can embed good digital accessibility into ways of working sustainably and effectively by following small steps to ensure the change management process is as smooth as possible. https://www.apm.org.uk/news/demystifying-digital-accessibility-webinar/

Applying Lean UX in designing enterprise software from ground up Presented by Adrian Roselli Founder, Vice President Algonquin Studios, United States

This document discusses principles and best practices for conducting usability testing of historic newspapers. It defines usability as ensuring a website works well and can be used as intended without frustration. Key lessons include minimizing complexity, prioritizing important content, providing consistent navigation, clear error messages, and help functions. The document outlines types of usability testing, recruiting participants, planning test tasks, and analyzing results to identify usability problems. Recommendations emphasize balancing content and white space, following standards, and enabling feedback.

The document discusses usability and user experience design on the internet. It defines usability as eliminating confusion for users by ensuring websites are effective, learnable, efficient, memorable, prevent errors, and are satisfying to use. Good design follows heuristics like "don't make me think" and eliminates questions users might have. Usability testing should start early in the design process before requirements or visual design to ensure projects meet users' needs. Designs also need to be iterative to adapt to changing user behaviors.

Copyright 2011 by WebAIM, used with permission. "Introduction to Web Accessibility" was presented at the Center for Health Literacy Conference 2011: Plain Talk in Complex Times by Jared Smith, Associate Director, WebAIM. Description: This training session will teach the principals of Web accessibility and demonstrate how users with disabilities interact with Web technologies. Participants will also learn about the legal guidelines and international standards for website accessibility compliance.

Adrian Roselli discusses how accessibility benefits everyone now or in the future. Supporting accessibility now helps serve one's future self as people age and experience injuries or impairments. It also helps others who are currently injured or encumbered. Teaching younger developers about accessibility helps future generations if they pass on what they learn. Accessibility is an ongoing process, not just a checklist, and requires ongoing maintenance.

This document discusses infinite scrolling and its accessibility issues. It begins by defining infinite scrolling as continuously loading content as the user scrolls. While this is good for live content, it poses problems for many users including keyboard-only, screen reader, switch control, speech input, and cognitively limited users who have difficulty navigating endless content. The document proposes using the ARIA role="feed" to help screen readers but notes it does not fully solve issues for other groups. It suggests reimagining designs with pagination buttons or skip links to make infinite scrolling more inclusive.

The document discusses accessibility considerations for theme developers. It provides an overview of key accessibility guidelines including using proper headings, link text, forms, images and ensuring keyboard navigation and color contrasts work properly. It notes that only 13 of over 2,700 themes in the WordPress repository are considered accessibility-ready. The document encourages developers to test themes without a mouse to ensure all controls and menus can be accessed via keyboard.

This document discusses information architecture (IA). It begins with defining IA and its key elements. IA is the structured design of shared information environments, combining organization, labeling, search, and navigation to support usability and findability. The document then covers the history of IA in library science and the early web. It discusses user behavior in browsing like known-item seeking. Organizational schemes and structures are explained like topic-based and audience-based. Labeling, content structure, and metadata are also important elements. The future of IA is discussed in relation to responsive design, multi-platform browsing, and adaptive content. IA practice is also summarized, focusing on staffing, testing, professional development, and advocacy.

Developers who choose HTML elements that best describe a screen’s structure and semantics often don’t know how browsers use their CSS to break those semantics.

My Selfish Accessibility talk as a 5 minute Ignite talk, with slides that auto-advance every 15 seconds and no speaker notes. You know, for fun.

Designers can have an outsized impact on the accessibility of a project, being the ones who produce the visuals that are often critical for understanding and sign-off. Adrian will talk about the ways designers contribute to the overall accessibility of a site or application. We'll look at typography, structure, documentation, colour, contrast and more. Each of these has a corresponding WCAG SC to help provide guidance.

The document summarizes a presentation given by Adrian Roselli on fringe accessibility techniques that should be avoided. It discusses common techniques like clicking on labels and checking color contrast. It then covers more fringe techniques such as avoiding default focus styles, using <h1> headings wisely, and setting the lang attribute. The document warns against disabling zoom, using tabindex greater than 0, and avoiding infinite scroll. It emphasizes that accessibility is an ongoing process rather than a checklist.

Many (most?) developers make the effort to choose HTML elements that best describe the structure and semantics of the content. They then use CSS to set the layout for the visual design. What they don’t know is how browsers use that CSS to break the HTML semantics. I will demonstrate issues and offer unfortunate workarounds.

The document is a slide presentation by Adrian Roselli for London Web Standards about using the lang attribute in HTML. It discusses what the lang attribute is, examples of its use, research showing around 47% of pages use it correctly, its importance for HTML validation, internationalization, accessibility, and screen readers. It also covers fun facts like the history of the "en-US-x-Hixie" language code.

Running tests with real users is critical for so many organizations, whether when evaluating MVPs or just as part of iterative updates. For an organization that already has embraced inclusive design, the next step is to integrate it into user testing by incorporating users with disabilities into your normal testing process. Note that this is not the same as accessibility testing. Ideally your accessibility work is done so that you can test a fully functional and accessible site/application for usability regardless of disability. I will discuss how to plan for and execute these sessions as well as pitfalls to avoid. Ideally you will walk away with high-level understanding of where to start.

Accessibility practitioners tend to live in a bubble, taking for granted many of the basics with which developers struggle. Explore questions developers ask one another.

If you’ve embraced inclusive design, next is to integrate it into user testing by incorporating people with disabilities into your process.

The document summarizes a presentation where the presenter discusses what they have learned about accessibility from questions and answers on Stack Overflow. It includes questions asked on Stack Overflow about HTML, CSS, ARIA, assistive technology, and accessibility in general, along with short answers or responses provided. The presentation concludes by emphasizing the importance of accessibility professionals being present and providing guidance on sites like Stack Overflow and at local tech events.

This document summarizes a presentation about inclusive user testing. It discusses concerns about accessibility and participant experience. It provides guidance on planning testing logistics like payment, venue selection, recruitment through community organizations, accommodations, technology use, testing processes, and privacy considerations. The overall document outlines best practices for conducting accessible and respectful user testing.

The lang attribute is necessary, I explain why. Animated GIFs and videos can be found on my site at http://adrianroselli.com/2017/03/slides-from-roledrinks-at-csun.html

To help you choose the best DiskWarrior alternative, we've compiled a comparison table summarizing the features, pros, cons, and pricing of six alternatives.

Is your patent a vanity piece of paper for your office wall? Or is it a reliable, defendable, assertable, property right? The difference is often quality. Is your patent simply a transactional cost and a large pile of legal bills for your startup? Or is it a leverageable asset worthy of attracting precious investment dollars, worth its cost in multiples of valuation? The difference is often quality. Is your patent application only good enough to get through the examination process? Or has it been crafted to stand the tests of time and varied audiences if you later need to assert that document against an infringer, find yourself litigating with it in an Article 3 Court at the hands of a judge and jury, God forbid, end up having to defend its validity at the PTAB, or even needing to use it to block pirated imports at the International Trade Commission? The difference is often quality. Quality will be our focus for a good chunk of the remainder of this season. What goes into a quality patent, and where possible, how do you get it without breaking the bank? ** Episode Overview ** In this first episode of our quality series, Kristen Hansen and the panel discuss: ⦿ What do we mean when we say patent quality? ⦿ Why is patent quality important? ⦿ How to balance quality and budget ⦿ The importance of searching, continuations, and draftsperson domain expertise ⦿ Very practical tips, tricks, examples, and Kristen’s Musts for drafting quality applications https://www.aurorapatents.com/patently-strategic-podcast.html

Have you noticed the OpenSSF Scorecard badges on the official Dart and Flutter repos? It's Google's way of showing that they care about security. Practices such as pinning dependencies, branch protection, required reviews, continuous integration tests etc. are measured to provide a score and accompanying badge. You can do the same for your projects, and this presentation will show you how, with an emphasis on the unique challenges that come up when working with Dart and Flutter. The session will provide a walkthrough of the steps involved in securing a first repository, and then what it takes to repeat that process across an organization with multiple repos. It will also look at the ongoing maintenance involved once scorecards have been implemented, and how aspects of that maintenance can be better automated to minimize toil.
