This presentation demonstrates a proposed method for working through the process of making web content accessible to visitors using assistive technology.
This document discusses designing HTML for mobile devices. It notes that screens are proliferating in different sizes and resolutions. It recommends responsive design, where sites dynamically change layout depending on screen size, as the best solution. The document outlines techniques for responsive grids like floats, CSS tables, flexbox and inline-block. It also covers responsive images, testing on actual devices, and concludes that mobile engagement is high so responsive design is important to meet users on all devices.
This document discusses issues with mobile websites not working properly and provides resources for fixing these issues, including a website called wtfmobileweb.com that explains you're not alone in experiencing problems. It also lists tools like Adobe Muse, Edge Reflow, Photoshop, and Brackets that can help make sites more responsive. The document encourages working together to address mobile web issues and provides contact information for the author to ask questions.

This document provides information about the bookmarking tool LaterLoop. It describes what LaterLoop is, which devices can use it, advantages like reading bookmarks offline or on any device, and one disadvantage which is that it does not store images. The document also includes a quiz about LaterLoop and provides a bibliography of sources at the end.
Selfish Accessibility: WordCamp London 2017Adrian Roselli
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.
Developers: Why Care About the User? (2017)Andrew Malek
As developers, we deal with technologies, frameworks, and data, making it very easy to forget that what we create is meant for real people to use.
While designers and UI specialists should handle most decisions about how a product or service looks and feels, we should all be on the same page to make better solutions. Whether we are building an interface for a desktop website, mobile application, or chatbot, what are some basic design concepts that we as developers can pick up, allowing us to be on the same page with designers and product owners during product meetings and discussions?
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.

You know it's important for your web project to be accessible to people who use all kinds of assistive technology to access the internet. But all the guidelines for web accessibility you can find don't go much beyond "make sure all your images have alt text", and all the resources you can find treat "accessibility" as a synonym for "making your site work in a screen reader". You know there are other things you should be doing and other forms of assistive technology you should be accomodating, but all the best practices documents are a complicated morass of contradicting information (if you can find best practices documents at all.)
Have no fear! This tutorial gives you a number of concrete steps to take to make things more accessible.
This presentation has downloadable notes and exercises available at http://denise.dreamwidth.org/tag/a11y . Video of the talk should be available later.
Why Nobody Fills Out My Forms (Updated)Andrew Malek
Has your web form conversion rate hit a wall? Are users not receiving confirmation e-mails, getting pestered with password or data format warnings *after* they finish entering their information, or bailing after being asked the same questions multiple ways? Find out why not enough people are filling out your web forms, and learn suggestions of A/B tests you can try to help encourage more people to interact.
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.

Go to hell Flash, we don't need you anymore! GothamJsmichalbu
When back in 1996 Macromedia introduced Flash, no one suspected that this plugin will revolutionize the world of the Internet and move an open, Web-based technologies into the background. Today, after more than 15 years, situation slowly reverses - finally creating interactive websites, games or advertisements is possible without using any browser plugins. But is it enough? Michal will take us on a tour of the world's holy war between Plugins like Flash and HTML, and will attempt to answer this question, preseting poorly known HTML5 features, services and open source tools he is working on now (like http://bly.sk).
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.
Accessible Design WordCamp Europe 2018 in BelgradMaja Benke
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.
With recent announcement that all code submitted to WordPress core (as well as themes) must meet WCAG 2.0 AA, proper accessibility techniques are more important within WordPress than ever. I’ll review some basic and fringe accessibility techniques you can use for your personal and client projects, as well as for contributing to WordPress core.
It's Business Time: Givin' User Experience Love with CSS3Denise Jacobs
Advanced CSS and CSS3 can add richness to your site’s experience layer by enhancing interactivity. While the CSS3 specification as a whole is still in flux, but you can still use many CSS3 properties today. Regardless of the project, anyone can inject flexible techniques that enrich the interactions built into websites.

Fringe Accessibility: A11y Camp Toronto 2015Adrian Roselli
If you work in accessibility, you probably 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 code techniques, I’ll review the logic behind these approaches (which you can refute, checking off that elusive audience participation selling point!).

This document discusses web accessibility and adjustments that can be made to content management systems like AEM to comply with Section 508 standards. It provides an overview of common disabilities like sight impairments and cognitive disabilities. Programmatic adjustments that can be made include adding alt text to images, proper labeling of form fields, and ensuring keyboard navigation. Color contrast, captioning videos, and organizing content in a logical structure can also improve accessibility. Testing with screen readers and disabling CSS is recommended. Resources for creating accessible content are provided.
This session will highlight the capabilities within AEM 6.2 that allow you to create accessible web content and how to meet the important requirements of WCAG 2.0.

A half day workshop walks people through common accessibility issues on the web, including good reasons why to accessible. Great for web designers, developers, teachers and IT trainers.
Intro to ExpressionEngine and CodeIgniterbrightrocket
ExpressionEngine is a content management system (CMS) that allows clients or designers to easily maintain a website. It saves time for larger sites by automating common tasks like adding blog posts, pages, or products. ExpressionEngine is great for both designers who don't know code and developers who don't want to build a CMS from scratch. It has a large community of users and a variety of add-ons that expand its capabilities. The presentation concluded with a demonstration of ExpressionEngine and giving away free licenses and add-ons to attendees.
The document provides information on adding images and links to HTML documents. Some key points include:
- The <a> tag is used to define links, with the "href" attribute specifying the link destination. Links can be absolute, relative, or email links.
- The <img> tag inserts images, requiring the "src" attribute to specify the image file path. Images can also have an "alt" attribute to provide alternative text.
- Accessible links use descriptive text, avoid generic text like "click here", and don't open links in new windows without indication.
- Images improve user experience and engagement. They are added using the <img> tag and can also be made into

Images For Everyone
We developers and designers are obsessed with getting our images “just right” before we display them to our users. We perfect their art direction, selecting images that set the right mood or convey the right information. We fine-tune their performance characteristics and ensure that we serve the right image for a multitude of devices. But what about users who can’t see our finely-tuned images or distinguish between the colors in our beautiful infographics? How do we ensure that our images are accessible so that everyone can experience your site to the fullest ?
In this session, we’ll learn about the different types of visual, auditory, cognitive, and motor impairments that affect how users interact with images and other media, and we’ll cover practical techniques for ensuring that your images are accessible to everyone, regardless of how they experience the web.

This document provides guidance on keeping website content accessible. It discusses writing accessible web copy by focusing on readability, using short paragraphs and clear headings. Images should include descriptive alt text and consider colorblindness. Videos and podcasts require captions, transcripts and audio descriptions. Tables require proper HTML markup. The presenter encourages testing with tools like WAVE and considering the needs of people with disabilities when creating and editing content.
Slides from my SXSW workshop entitled "UI Patterns: Then & Now". Reviewed some UI patterns on sites form a few years back, comparing to their current version, with a closer look at some newer UI patterns like hamburger menus, longer (below the fold) page content, and moving away from hero space sliders.
The CSS rule makes all text 3 times larger than the base font size and colors it green. It also sets a background image that remains fixed when scrolling. The HTML provided contains sample text inside <h1> and <p> tags for testing the CSS rule. A screenshot of the output is also required.
Web Components: The Future of Web Development is HereJohn Riviello
From Drupaldelphia 2018
If you haven’t explored Web Components yet, you’re missing out on a powerful tool that can greatly enhance reusability of common web elements throughout your websites and web applications. As Comcast has been updating our web properties to unify under a single UX, using Web Components with Polymer has helped make that process much more efficient.
This session will introduce you to what exactly Web Components are and how to use them. We’ll also cover building Web Components with Polymer, the most popular Web Component library. You’ll get to hear how Comcast is using the web platform to build its next generation single page apps & websites using the latest browser APIs.
You’ll also learn about how easy it is to onboard a team to using Polymer, tips for sharing components with other websites & across teams, and best practices Comcast has established for efficient development of Web Components.
The document discusses responsive web design and its key elements. It notes that the web is now accessed through various devices like desktops, mobile phones, tablets, TVs and game consoles. Responsive web design adapts websites to different screen sizes and devices by using flexible grids, images and media queries. Some key aspects are using relative units like ems instead of pixels, flexible layouts, images that scale with the page and media queries to apply CSS styles for different devices. The document provides examples and resources for learning more about responsive design.
Selfish Accessibility — WordCamp Europe 2017Adrian Roselli
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.
Rich and Beautiful: Making Attractive Apps in HTML5 [Wpg 2013]David Wesst
End-users are shallow and vein when it comes to applications. Whether you are selling apps in the marketplace, or trying to engage business users, without a sexy user experience, it can be hard to get people interested. HTML5, although very practical and functional as a platform, can do wonders when it comes to making sexy software. In this session, we will take a deeper dive into the HTML5 tools that can make your application a looker and really look good. We will learn how to take a regular HTML5 application and turn it into a rich user experience that stands out in the crown in HTML5 application using features like SVG, Canvas, and Audio/Video.

Style Guide Best Practices
We’re tasked with creating experiences that look and function beautifully across a dizzying array of devices and environments. That’s a tall order in and of itself, but once you factor in other team members, clients, stakeholders, and organizational quirks, things start looking downright intimidating. With so many variables to consider, we need solid ground to stand on. Style guides are quickly proving to be foundational tools for tackling this increasingly-diverse web landscape while still maintaining your sanity. Style guides promote consistency, establish a shared vocabulary, make testing easier, and lay a future-friendly foundation. This session will detail best practices and considerations for creating and maintaining style guides, so you can set up your organization for success.

2) Beginning in Fall 2016, SAP will be checked after every term and students who do not meet the standards will be placed on a warning status for one term before becoming ineligible for aid.
3) Students who do not meet SAP standards can appeal and have their eligibility reinstated by submitting an appeal form providing documentation of an extenuating circumstance beyond their control that affected their academic performance.

The document compares the existing online orientation to Cynosure's orientation, noting that the existing orientation works across devices, has closed captions, and a completion rate of around 80% over two years, while Cynosure's orientation has issues on some devices, lacks closed captions, has questionable ADA compliance, and reliability problems. It suggests developing a new orientation in-house using HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript and XML for full ADA compliance across all devices that would also save money to fund other projects.
The document outlines Victor Valley College's Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) policy for financial aid recipients. It states that students must meet minimum GPA, completion rate, and program length standards to remain eligible for aid. SAP is reviewed annually after spring grades, and students who do not meet the standards will be dismissed from aid programs. The document describes the standards and evaluation process in detail. It also provides instructions for appealing dismissal, which requires an explanation of extenuating circumstances and supporting documentation. The appeal decision is final and cannot be overturned.
Human: Thank you for the summary. You captured the key points about SAP policy, review process, standards, dismissal, and appeal instructions concisely in 3 sentences as

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
