Usability for everyone : Google I/O Extended 2018Jagriti Pande
In this talk, I tell the audience how Usability can help create a more inclusive world while helping businesses grow. I also shared ways in which companies can make usability a part of their product development culture
Learn how to use prototyping and usability testing as a means to validate proposed functionality and designs before you invest in development. SOMETIMES there is a huge disconnect between the people who make a product and the people who use it. Usability testing is vital to uncovering the areas where these disconnects happen. In this symposium you will learn the steps to conduct a successful usability test. This includes tips and real life examples on how to plan the tests, recruit users, facilitate the sessions, analyze the data, and communicate the results.
Basic introduction to (mainly Nielsen) usability principles for a non UX audience. Content oriented with examples of success stories (both public sector complex sites) and their impact on objectives.
Inclusive customer interviews make it your friday taskTed Drake
Customer research has been a core part of Intuit from the earliest days of the company. In the 1980’s Intuit engineers would hang out at computer stores to find people buying Quicken software and ask if they could follow them home to watch their installation process to learn
about pain points and opportunities. Kurt Walecki, Intuit VP of Design, described the importance:
From the very beginning, Intuit has done user research both to understand how customers are using their current products and to identify customers’ unmet needs, allowing them to introduce new products to the market to satisfy them.
Every product and team at Intuit uses customer research and interviews to design and build products and new functionality. Intuit’s use of Lean Startup includesthe mantra “fall in love with
the problem, not the solution”
.
The goal is to understand the customer’s pain points and missed opportunities first, expand on the problem, build prototypes, continually review with the customer to test solutions, and then promote it to a product feature. This customer focus ensures the product grows with useful features and doesn’t bloat with unnecessary technology.

How to create accessible websites - WordCamp BostonRachel Cherry
Web accessibility refers to the inclusive practice of removing barriers that prevent interaction with, or access to, websites by people with disabilities. When your website is inaccessible, research shows you could be excluding up to 20 percent of your visitors and customers. When your website is accessible, everyone can consume your information and interact with you and your services. Visually-impaired users can visit your website using a screen reader. Those who can’t use a mouse can navigate your site using a keyboard or other input device. Designing with accessibility in mind will also improve your SEO. Join my workshop to learn more about accessibility, the importance of universal design, and how to create a high-quality user experience that is inclusive and beneficial to all.
APM Webinar hosted by the Thames Valley Branch on 14 March 2024.
Speaker: Jade Matos Carew, Head of Digital, Accessibility and Usability, The Open University
What is digital accessibility? (Spoiler: it’s making sure we design and develop websites, systems, and digital content and experiences which are accessible by everyone – including disabled users.) This webinar was held on 14 March 2024.
We took a look at the principles behind it and why it’s vital (and often overlooked) in today’s organisations. We thought about how it can benefit staff, clients and customers, and how ensuring best practice in digital accessibility can act as a strong foundation to help to foster an inclusive and diverse organisational culture. We also considered the practical challenges which are faced when embedding best practice in digital accessibility into ways of working, and how applying change management principles can provide an effective toolkit for approaching and assisting with this.
The Equality Act (2010) broadly protects certain characteristics, including the rights of disabled people so that everyone can have equal access to participate in society. This includes online and digital spaces, and it’s therefore vital to make sure that our organisations, services, digital content, and ways of working are set up in the right way to accommodate the needs of a diverse audience so that everyone can feel included and engaged. This includes considering best practice in a wide range of contexts – from the documents you make and use, the websites you build, the development cycles you follow, to the IT solutions you procure, and the online meetings you host. Good digital accessibility is more than just meeting our legal obligations, it’s the right thing to do. Without an inclusive approach, you could be at risk of excluding people, whether that’s team members, or potential customers.
There are principles, standards, and best practice which we need to follow, and these can often take a certain amount of time, effort, and expertise to interpret, but you don’t have to be an expert to get to grips with the basics. The journey to becoming more accessible is exactly, that – a journey rather than a quick fix. There are ways in which you can embed good digital accessibility into ways of working sustainably and effectively by following small steps to ensure the change management process is as smooth as possible.

UXPA2019 Enhancing the User Experience for People with Disabilities: Top 10 ...UXPA International
An estimated 1.3 billion people globally report limitations in their daily activities due to a disability. When it comes to the physical world, businesses have made progress in accommodating customers with disabilities. But in the digital world, websites lack basic accessibility features such as text alternatives describing images, proper heading level structures so individuals who are blind and use screen readers can understand the content on a webpage, or captioning for multimedia content for individuals who are deaf or are hard of hearing – let alone assistive technology for customers who have trouble using mobile devices due to dexterity limitations that arise from a variety of conditions.
In this session, attendees will:
* Understand people with disabilities (PWDs) and how they use the web
* Learn about common barriers, issues and solutions
* Discover the different testing methodologies and their interdependencies
* Uncover ROI
Designing, Developing & Testing for AccessibilityEric Malcolm
In this talk we will go over the basics of designing, developing and testing for accessibility. Including: Color Contrast, Sizing & Spacing, Device Independent User Input, Page Structure, Headings, Testing Tools, Extensions, Testing with a Screen Reader.
Web accessibility refers to the inclusive design and development of websites and web content to ensure that people with disabilities can access and interact with them effectively. It involves considering and implementing features and practices that enable individuals with various disabilities to navigate, perceive, understand, and interact with web content, ensuring equal access and usability for all users!
Marketing Without Barriers: Considering Digital Accessibility for Customers a...Whole Brain Group, LLC
There are 57 million Americans living with a disability, and many of these people need to use assistive technology to interact with websites and digital marketing materials. If your website and marketing materials aren't created properly, they won't be compatible with these devices, and you could be unintentionally excluding customers who would otherwise like to buy from you. You can also be at risk for legal liability if you're in an industry that is subject to accessibility compliance regulations.
This talk illustrates why businesses and marketers should be thinking about accessibility when they develop marketing plans and launch digital campaigns.

The value of measuring your accessibility maturityIntopia
Slides from the webinar co-presented by Andrew Arch and Neil Jarvis in September 2023 on the value in measuring your accessibility maturity.
The webinar explored the importance of measuring your maturity, and how doing so can help you create an action plan for improving accessibility within your organisation. A recording of the webinar is available on Intopia's YouTube channel.
Did you know that an Undo button can be an accessibility feature? It is if your product is a content creation tool. Accessibility is as important for your admin and content creation tools as it is for front facing products.
If you've ever wondered what content creation features are useful to people with disabilities, or how you can help your creators to easily make more accessible content, then the ATAG (Authoring Tools Accessibility Guidelines) standard is what you need. It's a bit different than WCAG in ways that are useful for web apps and software.
Using ATAG as a guide, this talk will walk you through an accessibility features list to help refine your requirements and prioritize your backlog. The right preference settings, keyboard shortcuts and documentation in your app can help everyone build a more accessible web.
Slides from AccessU presentation presented by Sarah Pulis and Claire Webber.
Annotating designs with accessibility information is a powerful way to focus on accessibility early in the design phase, as well as communicate your accessibility requirements to developers and testers. Sarah and Claire will cover how to add accessibility annotations in components, patterns and complete wireframes using popular design tools such as Figma.
Designing for people with cognitive impairmentsIntopia
Slides from a presentation delivered by Andrew Arch and Sarah Pulis at the DTA Summit, November 2020.
When considering disability as part of the diversity of people we need to do research with and design for, we often only consider the more visible disabilities and impairments of vision, hearing and mobility. Cognition, often considered a 'hidden disability', can easily be overlooked. Digital design and language choices can make content inaccessible to people with cognitive and learning disabilities.

Wireless communication involves the transmission of information over a distance without the help of wires, cables or any other forms of electrical conductors.
Wireless communication is a broad term that incorporates all procedures and forms of connecting and communicating between two or more devices using a wireless signal through wireless communication technologies and devices.
Features of Wireless Communication
The evolution of wireless technology has brought many advancements with its effective features.
The transmitted distance can be anywhere between a few meters (for example, a television's remote control) and thousands of kilometers (for example, radio communication).
Wireless communication can be used for cellular telephony, wireless access to the internet, wireless home networking, and so on.

4. Web accessibility is…
Web accessibility allows any person, regardless of their ability,
to interact, understand and navigate around the Internet
If the web is accessible, it provides new and unique
opportunities to engage and inform all of its users
5. Web accessibility is…
The good news? Everybody is already partially doing it!
Are you:
• A web developer?
• A designer?
• A writer or content producer?
The Internet was designed to be accessible, we need to keep it that way.
8. Accessibility is a human right!
Accessibility is a civil human rights issue
Anything that is isn’t accessible denies the right to equal access and equal
opportunity
9. There’s a benefit to doing it
right…
Making your work accessible means that more people will actually be able to use it
If you’re the first one in your sector to do it right, people will come back to you
It’s also great for SEO – free search ranking increases for the win!
10. It’s also likely the law.
UN – Convention of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) - 2009
Many governments already have accessibility policies mandated
Does the country you live in have laws about the rights of people with a disability?
Not being accessible means you’re likely not meeting those laws
11. This is a slide that has a video
on it!
Hopefully you won’t be looking at it too much, and you’ll get to look at the video

12. MORE THAN 1 BILLION PEOPLE HAVE A
DISABILITY
That’s 15% of the world’s population
14. Let’s ‘pour’ over the principles
The guidelines and criteria used to determine if a website or web content is accessible
rely upon four key principles:
• Perceivable
• Operable
• Understandable
• Robust
15. Principle #1: Perceivable
Users should be able to perceive the information being presented (it can't be invisible
to all of their senses)
This includes making sure:
• People can understand all of your content, including videos and images
• Users can navigate your website in the right way
• That your device doesn’t shout at you unless you want it to!
• That if you’re providing helpful information, people understand why
16. How many lines of text can
you see?
Can you see this text?
Can you see this text?
Can you see this text?
Can you see this text?
Can you see this text?
17. Principle #2: Operable
Users should be able to interact with all components and navigate through all content
within a website or web content
This includes making sure:
• People who navigate by keyboard can actually reach all of your content
• People don’t have to navigate through the same content on every page
• Every webpage you create has a title, and your content has headings
• Users can easily understand where they have navigated to on a page
• You don’t flash people!
18. How annoying would this be if you
had someone say it to you?
"Read more. Read more. Click here. Read more. Read more. Read more. Read more. Read more.
Read more. Read more. Read more.”
(Yep, this happens, and it happens more often than you think it does!)
Imagine having this said to you on every website you visited? Not cool.
19. Principle #3: Understandable
Users should be able to understand all information that is published, and that
navigation should make sense to them
This includes making sure:
• You tell people what language your content is in
• That your website doesn’t break or do something unexpected when you click on or
look at something
• Everything that should be the same across every page actually is the same
(sneaky surprises aren’t cool!)
• If someone does something wrong on your website, you tell them, and you tell
them in the right way.
20. Principle #4: Robust
Users should still be able to access content when they change the technology that they
use
This includes making sure:
• If you’re designing something to give a certain impression, make sure the coding
matches
• If you’re going to start coding something, finish it, or take it out. Don’t leave
something that’s incomplete, or something that’s empty
23. The 101 on WCAG
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) were created by the World Wide
Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Accessibility Initiative
The most common standard or benchmark used worldwide is WCAG 2.0 Level AA
Find the guidelines at http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/
WCAG 2.1 formally recommended in June 2018, and focused on:
• Cognitive disabilities
• Learning disabilities
• Mobile and tablet devices
24. … but have I done it right?
The Website Accessibility Conformance Evaluation Methodology (WCAG-EM) will tell
you if you’re on the right track
Do some web accessibility testing yourself, or get some outside help
Have users who have a disability try and use your website – their insight may surprise
you!
Some automated tools can also provide some initial helpful advice, but don’t rely on
them exclusively
25. Case study: Australia
Not that I mean to show off, but Australia has:
• A Digital Design Standard created by federal government
• A Disability Discrimination Act, with accompanying advisory notes on the level of
accessibility required
• Technology procurement policies for Australian government
They also had a strategy, the National Transition Strategy, to help make government
websites accessible
26. What does it mean for
Australia?
If an eligible major government agency develops a new website, it’s not allowed to launch
until it’s accessible
If an essential service has been created by a non-government organisation and it’s not
accessible, they could face legal consequences
The government is making more attempts to ensure the technology it buys is accessible
28. Win #1: Use of images
If you’re including any images in your content, make sure they have a text alternative.
This can often be done through your own website when you upload an image.
If it can’t be done automatically, do it manually! It’s easy. Just describe the image in the
<alt> tags.
If your image has a lot of detail to it, then provide a full description of the image directly
underneath it.
29. Win #2: No more “read more”
links!
(Yes, it’s back again)
Make sure that your link text is meaningful, and describes what the user is about to
visit.
Correct version: <a href=” http://google.com ”> Google Home Page</a>
Incorrect version: <a href=” http://google.com ”> Click here</a>
30. Win #3: Don’t use just colour
to convey information
You can still use colour to convey information, but don’t do that exclusively.
Give some explanatory text as well, otherwise people who are colour blind might miss
it!
31. Win #4: Don’t make your text
hard to read
No one can read really tiny text, so don’t use it! A minimum 14 point font size is best
Don’t make your colour choices difficult for people to see either
The Colour Contrast Analyser (developed by the Paciello Group) will give you the
answers you need
32. Win #5: Keep the ‘click to
view’ newsletter link up top
Many platforms that allow you to send newsletters will have a ‘Click to view’ link up top
for when images don’t load correctly for someone
Keep it there, because it may direct users to a more accessible version
Double win! Combine this and win #2 by giving the link meaningful link text
33. Win #6: Use headings in your
web content
Put the title or main heading of your page in a Heading 1 <h1> tag
Use headings throughout the page, and avoid skipping heading levels
34. Win #7: Caption your videos
Captioning your videos means that anyone who is Deaf or hearing impaired can
understand what’s in your videos too
Been in a really noisy location and not been able to hear your phone? Captions means
you can understand what’s going on
For people where the language of your video is a second language, it can also help
them learn the language better
