My Accessibility Saga XIICreated by Henry E. Schaffer (North Carolina State University) on January 15, 2007
It isn't always a struggle, sometimes the work gets done without undue effort! I'm continuing to improve the accessibility of my web learning objects, and just finished one that a colleague uses in his molecular genetics course.
It's a straightforward exploration of bond energies affecting equilibrium concentrations. It's mostly ascii text, with two drop down menus and one text box where the result appears. There is a display table, which makes complete sense when "linearized" (read left to right by rows). The small amount of effort it took went to doing such things as adding a noscript section and changing away from the now-improper use of header tags. Nothing exciting - hardly worth writing about, except for the hope that somebody will see that retrofitting accessibility isn't always a bother. |
