- How to get useful answers to your questions"Often when I ask a vague or underspecified question, what happens is one of:
- the person starts by explaining a bunch of stuff I already know
- the person explains some things which I don’t know, but which I don’t think are relevant to my problem
- the person starts giving a relevant explanation, but using terminology that I don’t understand, so I still end up being confused
None of these give me the answer to my question and this can be quite frustrating (it often feels condescending when someone embarks on a lengthy explanation of things I already know, even if they had no way of knowing that I already know those things), so let’s talk about I try to avoid situations like this and get the answers I need." - Posters on how to design for accessibilityCovers designing for audiences who are autistic, using screen readers, having low vision, having dyslexia, with physical or motor disabilities, who are deaf or hard of hearing, or with anxiety.
- tota11y - an accessibility visualization toolkit"tota11y helps visualize how your site performs with assistive technologies. [...]
The process of testing for accessibility (a11y) is often tedious and confusing. In many cases, developers must have some prior accessibility knowledge in order to make sense of the results. Instead, tota11y aims to reduce this barrier of entry by helping visualize accessibility violations (and successes), while educating on best practices. - Designing ADA Compliant Online Courses"Two faculty members recommend easy ways for enhancing student learning online while meeting compliance."
