Accessibility testing kailash 26_nov_ 2010
The document discusses accessibility and its importance on the web. It defines accessibility as designing websites to be usable by people with disabilities. The aim is to ensure that people with any disability can perceive, understand, navigate and interact with content. Guidelines like WCAG provide priorities for making web content accessible for disabled users and all devices. Ensuring accessibility involves careful attention to navigation, separation of design from content, and support for assistive technologies.
Digital Accessibility - The Quick Wins
We all get the WHO or we wouldn’t be here, same with the WHY. This presentation looks at WHAT, WHERE and HOW.
Accessibility is often a lot closer than you realise. Organisations rely on and invest heavily in technology, one of the options being considered in the mix may open up a whole new pool of resourcing options.
This presentation explores how an organisation can quickly and easily include accessibility in their organisational planning. Government departments started with accessible websites, now this is flowing onto NGOs while government departments focus on the next levels of digital accessibility.
When you know the right questions to ask, it isn’t that hard and there are some quick wins organisations can and should be implementing right now. Areas covered in this presentation include:
Technology – it is probably already on the hardware you are using!
Accessible documents – what are they and how can you produce them?
Outsourcing digital – what do you put in your brief?
Websites – internet and intranet – we all know content is king – who owns accessibility
Alternative media – video, social, webinars
Organisational accessibility – it’s not a box to tick, it’s a way of doing business - how do you embed this into an organisation?
Assistive technology
Matthew Shemwell discusses assistive technology and how it can help students with disabilities. Assistive technology includes devices that help with communication, computer access, visual aids, and pre-vocational skills. Examples provided are listening devices, augmentative communication software and apps, adjustable monitors and keyboards, ebooks, smartpens, and communication boards.

Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act - What is it, how well Shar...
Accessibility is on the minds of most public sector and many private sector organizations in Ontario, Canada that are creating new or significantly upgrading their existing websites. The government is mandating conformance to strict guidelines defined by WCAG 2.0. Does SharePoint have what it takes to do the job?
In this presentation I provide you with an overview of the Accessibility to Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) and its relationship to WCAG 2.0, and outline the key areas that need to be considered when building AODA-compliant sites. Finally I will present results of short experiments I did on SharePoint 2010 and 2013 as it relates to accessibility.
But Can I Use It? Getting Started with Accessibiilty
Accessibility refers to the design of products, devices, services, or environments to be usable by people with disabilities. Web accessibility means websites are designed so people with disabilities can perceive, understand, navigate and interact with content. It benefits both disabled and non-disabled users and is required by law. Getting started with accessibility is easy and involves using accessible images and tables with descriptions and headers, as well as semantic tags for things like headings instead of bold or italics.

Assistive technology #3
Assistive technology refers to any tools that help students with disabilities perform tasks more easily and independently. Assistive technology can range from low-cost simple tools to more complex expensive devices, and support services are available to help students use assistive technology. Examples provided include enlarged text for students with visual impairments, specialized keyboards for students with motor difficulties, and text-to-speech software for students who can comprehend material but have difficulty reading it themselves. The goal of assistive technology is to support students' participation in educational experiences to the fullest extent possible.
Teaching with technology3 lewis-nerallt14
Mobile learning goals include access anytime/anywhere, interactivity that fosters social presence and scaffolding, and immediacy with no boot up needed. Effective mobile apps are Evernote for collecting artifacts, Notability for annotation, VoiceThread for collaborative storytelling, and Duolingo for adaptive language learning. iPad deployment models are one-to-one, mobile carts maintained by IT, or relying on some students' devices for flipped classroom collaboration. IT can streamline iPad use through the Device Enrollment Program, which allows remote administration and bypassing of certain setup steps.
Web accessibility
This PowerPoint presentation provides an introduction to web accessibility and MISD's accessibility procedure document and plan. It covers why web accessibility is important, as 1 in 5 people have a disability, and outlines the four principles of accessibility - perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust. It discusses common accessibility issues and how to make websites more accessible by adding text alternatives, captions, headings, sufficient color contrast, and more. Attendees will receive training resources and are expected to make requested changes to their content within 30 days to meet accessibility standards. The Help Desk is available for any questions.
Assistive techology
Assistive technology refers to equipment or devices that can help individuals with disabilities increase or improve their functional abilities. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) requires public schools to provide early intervention, special education, and related services to children with disabilities and mandates the development of an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) created collaboratively between parents and educators. The document discusses various types of assistive technology for individuals with visual, hearing, physical, learning, and speech impairments such as screen reading software, FM systems, specialized keyboards, reading programs, and communication devices.

Differentiated Instruction with special needs students, including brief definitions and descriptions of assistive technologies.
Presentation1
Differentiated instruction, special needs students, IEPs, inclusion, and assistive technology are critical areas to address when educating students with special needs. An IEP outlines the modifications and assistive technologies needed to help each special needs student succeed, while inclusion places the student in regular classrooms to the maximum extent. A variety of assistive technologies from low-tech organizers to screen readers can help address mild disabilities by aiding note taking, writing, and participation in class activities. Educators should continuously assess students and technologies to ensure IEP goals are met and each student's needs are addressed.
