[Accessibleweb] Monthly Web Accessibility/Usability Meet-up, Thu 4/13/23 at 10 AM PT

[Hadi Rangin]

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: Dynamic change of user interface
We will be reviewing the UW-IT Telecom Help Form<https://depts.washington.edu/techcse/HelpForm/> (requires a UW NetID). The default interface consists of eight buttons, and when the user clicks a button the original buttons are replaced with a new set of buttons.  This presents challenges in proper coding for screen reader users as well as focus management. This design pattern is similar to one we wrestled with in a recent meetup when reviewing Concept3D's campus map solution.

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.
