This should have been a good presentation, but it was sort of painful. The presenter was delayed by tech trouble and then spent the majority of the remaining time talking about the background and the history.
When he finally did get to the topic, he was nearly out of time and rushed through the points. Oh well, here are my notes from that session.
Are students getting the same kind of access / experience at the same time? This is increasingly the focus of federal OCR investigations. It is no longer sufficient to rely n accommodations. W need to build accessibility at the front end, not try to work around problems later.
Checkpoints in the metadata
Documentation
Text access - is the text there as text so it can be read by a screen reader
Text adjustability - change color, size, spacing
Reading layout -
Reading order - order for digital resources corresponds with the visual layout
Structural markup - lists, columns, headings, tables
Tables
Hyperlinks - can be seen and activated
Color and contrast
Language
Images - non text alternatives for images
Multi-media - is there a transcript
?
Interactive elements - things can be operated by keyboard alone
Painfully boring. Good information, but bad presentation. Finally got up and left.
