[opensource] UXers this Friday: Web Accessibility Hands-on Workshop

[Megan Erin Miller]

Hi UXers and friends,



This week, Jennifer Sutton and Jayne Schurick will join us, and we'll get
some hands-on experience with a few web accessibility testing tools.



*Hands-on Web Accessibility Workshop*

*Friday, March 7, 3-4pm*

*C223, Knight Management Center (GSB)*



If you plan to attend, please come prepared with a page or two in mind to
review. In addition, here are three items you might want to look at in
advance.

   1. If you use a Mac, you'll want to be sure that you've *enabled full
   keyboard navigation*. For guidance, take a look at this article:
   http://www.456bereastreet.com/archive/200906/enabling_keyboard_navigation_in_mac_os_x_web_browsers/

   2.  A good tool for *checking color contrast* is this one for Windows
   and Mac: Contrast Analyser for Windows and Mac
   http://www.paciellogroup.com/resources/contrastAnalyser - It might be
   helpful to install it beforehand.

   3. Finally, the *WAVE Service from WebAIM* is useful when assessing
   public pages. It can be found here: http://wave.webaim.org/

See you Friday,
Megan
