Usability Testing with People with DisabilitiesKate Walser
For users with disabilities visiting your website, accessibility is essential for site and app use. But how usable is your product? Why not ask people who use assistive technologies to use your site and find out? Learn tips for creating a test plan, recruiting, and moderating usability test sessions with people with disabilities.
Lessons Learned in Coding Accessible Apps with FrameworksKate Walser
Today's design and development frameworks - Drupal, WordPress, Bootstrap, jQuery, and others - make it easier to stand up apps quickly. But at what cost? Find out what we learned and what we'd change next time.
IBM Belgium Assistants Day. Presenting Assistants how to use Social Media for themselves or in name of their manager. Also discussed the thin line between always available in Social Media and private life
The field of user experience provides a wide range of useful methods that can help your Lean Startup Customer Discovery process. This presentation provides advice on how to find and engage prospects, and how to compile, make use of and test what you're learning.
Website accessibility matters! There are many reasons to make your site accessible - not only will incorporating accessibility into your daily lives help people with disabilities actually be able to use your site, but it can help attract a wider audience/larger customer base, make your site rank higher with search engines, and can improve your overall user experience on both desktop and mobile devices.
But how can you make your site accessible? Website accessibility is often an afterthought at the end a project when there is an accessibility audit or a user submits an issue, but what if we switched focus and started thinking about accessibility at the beginning of a project during the initial design and development stages?
In this talk I will present a quick overview of website accessibility (the what, who, and why), then review the underlying guidelines to making a site accessible, and present some general rules to keep in the back of your mind while designing and developing your next site. Finally, we will review some current D7/D8 modules that can help you make your site accessible.

The importance of introducing usability activities into free open source software development has been acknowledged in the research and by the community, yet FOSS products have been criticized for having little or no emphasis on usability. The decentralized and engineering-driven approach of open source projects can conflict with usability methodologies. We will review existing cases of UX design contribution to open source projects, discuss how designers can become part of the community and what engineers can do to improve usability of the software they build.
