WordPress as a Storytelling Tool — WordCamp Toronto 2015Kevin Barnes
Online storytelling continues to evolve, with more complex and engaging forms appearing almost daily. What began as long-form online news articles has branched off in diverse directions, from websites that expand the universe of an upcoming Hollywood movie, to a loose fabric of apps and sites that together reinterpret a classic Victorian novel.
This session explored the boom in online storytelling and examined how both developers and users are leveraging WordPress to uniquely support such storytelling. The discussion touched on such WordPress solutions as the Aesop Story Engine plugin and themes such as Storyteller, Longform, Radcliffe and Editor.

Open Ed 2018 - The Free, Open, Decentralized OER publishing platformbtopro
This is a presentation I had prepared for OpenEd 2018 until I realized that I didn't have the ability to show slides. So, that means it's actually a presentation that'll be done on youtube instead :) (pending time to record it). This discusses HAX and web components in the context of authoring and that authoring experience is universally bad, and what good ones are emerging are not good for accessibility and remix of OER long term.

Are you using a theme on your blog or website that is almost what you’re looking for but that could use a bit of customization? Don’t want to look like everyone else using the twenty fifteen theme? Child themes let us inherit the functionality of an existing theme, while adding our own custom functionality and style to suit our tastes and needs. In this session we look at how to create a child theme and some ways which we can make that baby our own.

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. 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 simple testing techniques, basic features and enhancements, coming trends, and where to get help. This isn’t intended to be a deep dive, but more of an overall primer for those who aren’t sure where to start nor how it helps them.
This presentation goes through the necessary accessibility considerations for websites to comply with the government mandated web accessibility guidelines for Australian government websites. This was developed specifically for Southern Cross University.

0x01 - Newton's Third Law: Static vs. Dynamic AbusersOWASP Beja

In this talk we'll compare measures that are effective against static attackers and how to battle a dynamic attacker who adapts to your counter-measures.

3. – Steve Krug
“The one argument for accessibility that doesn’t get
made nearly often enough is how extraordinarily
better it makes some people’s lives.
How many opportunities do we have to dramatically
improve people’s lives just by doing our job a little
better?”
11. Pawel
• 24 year old chemistry graduate
• Asperger’s and anxiety
• Adjusts things, like colours, to
reduce potential stress and
distractions

13. Simone
• 41 year old office manager
• Dyslexic
• Uses software which
highlights text as it reads it
out
https://alphagov.github.io/accessibility-personas/simone/
26. Accessibility for
Accordions and Tables
• Better Overview of Complex Content and Good for Visual
People
• Tricky for Screen Reader Users
• Tables and Accordions can be Accessible for Screen Readers
- if they are done right
• Gutenberg Table-Block in WordPress 5.2 are not accessible
Will be more Accessible in WordPress 5.3+

27. Text-Styles
• Use capitalisation correctly!
• Don’t use all capitals for real words!
• Use capitals for abbreviations and acronyms
31. Content
• Don’t go wild with text-styles. Carefully use styles like italic,
bold for single words. Stick to the style guide.
• Use easy and plain language
• Keep it clear, simple and short
• Guide the user with tips and hints.
36. Emojis
• Better understanding of the overall meaning/expression of
written Text
• Accessible in apps and native programs (emojis are read
out)
• Not by default accessible in websites, as emojis are
unicodes. For example: ☃ (Difficult for screen-reader
users)
<span role="img" aria-label="Snowman">☃</span>
Resource: https://tink.uk/accessible-emoji/
40. Emojis
Use them in native apps (Twitter, Slack…)
If you think the emoji is clear enough
Recommendation
Use them carefully in websites.
Extra explanation/additional work needed
44. Images and Graphics
• Don’t rely on colours only (for stats, graphics, … )
• Don’t “hide” text in images
• Use alt-text - also for decorative images.
Provide the same informations from image into text
• If that is too long - Include information also in the text
48. PDF
• Hard to make it accessible - Try to avoid it
• Provide informations also on the website (as HTML)
• Use semantic text-elements, same rules like on websites
50. Videos + Audios
• Great addition for text
• Don’t let it auto-start
• Use captioning for videos - Don’t rely on sound
• Vimeo needs captioning file
• YouTube can include automatic captioning
52. Videos + Audios
• Transcribe your audios (and video) and write information
also into the text
• https://auphonic.com/
• https://cloud.google.com/speech-to-text/
• Use chapter marks
56. GIFs
• Good way express things
• Try to avoid GIFs - better use videos - More control for the
user
• Okay for short video-sequels (not for longer videos)
• Don’t use GIFs in loop! Only repeat 2-3 times and than
stop it - Photoshop, and better GIF-Programs have an
option for that
• Be careful with flashing images and big movements!!!
