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: UMAC UW Colors Contrast Table UMAC has created a UW Colors Contrast table so users can check which combinations of brand colors meet WCAG contrast requirements. The visual complexity can make it difficult to fully communicate passing combinations of colors. We will be exploring and brainstorming how we can communicate passing contrast standards without making it too noisy for screen reader users.

Please join us for another casual and friendly virtual meeting to discuss some accessibility challenges. Topic 1: Accessibility of DataWrapper IHME, Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, uses a tool called DataWrapper to input raw data and output interactive graphs for the website. The bar graphs (see this page for an example) are not accessible, but DataWrapper has an option to produce tables. Here are some examples of different visualizations using IHME data. Each one uses a different data set. * map: https://www.datawrapper.de/_/0rg2J/ * table: https://www.datawrapper.de/_/1sIx8/ * pie chart: https://www.datawrapper.de/_/abiUO/ Here are some additional examples using one sample data set: * Table: https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/uYAJY/3/ * Bar chart: https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/LF6HI/1/ * Line graph: https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/iNY9i/1/ Topic 2: Accessibility of Mural template selection Mural is using a radio group embedded in a grid for their template sections. We are evaluating this approach for accessibility and would like to get your feedback on this technique. You can explore this by creating a free Mural account at mural.co, navigating to the dashboard, and clicking on the "New Mural" button on the left of the screen. When you click on this button, the modal that appears is the template selection, which uses a grid. We are going to discuss the best way to navigate through the grid and select a template.

As always, let me know if you would like to review your site/application for accessibility. Topic 2: WordPress Text-Hover plug-in accessibility UW Medicine Communications wants to add a plugin to Wordpress that creates a word bubble when you hover over certain text. The idea is that you could hover a mouse over a term, and the term would be defined in that word bubble. So, for example, you would hover over the abbreviation ERAS, and then a bubble would appear, and it would define the term -in this case, Electronic Residency Application Service. Here's an example of a plugin that might do that https://wordpress.org/plugins/text-hover/. We are going to look into the accessibility of this plug-in. Topic 3: Accessibility of Concept3D Campus Mapping Solution Concept3D is a product that is used by many universities for their online campus maps.
