[Accessibleweb] Monthly Web Accessibility/Usability Meet-up, Thu 11/10/22 at 10 AM PT

[Bethany Chum]

Hi everyone,

It is almost time for our monthly Web Accessibility/Usability Meet-up!
Please join us for another casual and friendly virtual meeting to discuss some accessibility challenges.

Topic 1: Review website/applications
Reviewing your site/application for accessibility is the main component of this meet-up and we all learn from such reviews.
As always, let me know if you would like to review your site/application for accessibility.

Topic 2: Accessibility of Sports Media and Museum Artwork/Artifacts
Last month, Jerred Mace, an industrial design student at UW and his team have share about two projects they are working on. One project aims to make sports media more accessible for those with visually impairments through a touch-based device. The second project focuses on increasing access to museum artwork and artifacts primarily for those with visual impairments.
As we could cover only the Museum Artwork and they will be coming back this month to share their Sports Media project with us to seek for accessibility advice.

About Monthly Web Accessibility/Usability Meet-up

Our meetings usually consist of two 30 minute segments. The first 30 minutes of our meetings are dedicated to casually reviewing your projects. This generally includes lots of hands on testing and code review. If you are working on a project and would like to get accessibility feedback from your peers, please let us know and we will add it to the agenda. We always encourage you to bring your own sites and topics, as it is a great learning experience for everyone.

Then for the last half of the meeting we have some topics we would like to bring to you to discuss, although we may not have time to cover all of them in depth.
