Found In Egroup: IT Accessibility Community \ view thread
Hi all, I previously shared the PowerPoint slides for my presentation on Wednesday, but decided to post again with the link to a video with the 3 demonstrations (I wanted to caption this first, which is now done). I realized I forgot to highlight Microsoft's Accessibility Insights for Web during ...

RE: ArXiv HTML articles - Trouble reading?

Hi Anaya, According to the article arXiv.org planned to start rolling out the HTML versions this past December "on a rolling basis." I just checked the "new" publications in several categories and couldn't find any that included the new HTML format. Perhaps they've been delayed in rolling it out. If ...

RE: SAAS Vendors refusing to agree to support accessibility

Found In Egroup: IT Accessibility Community \ view thread
One thing I would add to this discussion is the importance of engaging with vendors beyond the single point of time when the initial contract is negotiated. Try to get all that you can during that initial negotiation and don't be afraid to go back and forth. I try to get vendors to at least commit to ...

RE: VPAT for Sortly, only for Enterprise plan users?

Found In Egroup: IT Accessibility Community \ view thread
FYI, use of Sortly at Yale has not come to my team's attention yet, so I'm sorry I don't have any VPAT or other information to provide. I will say that if you have to work this hard to get a VPAT, it's probably not of much value anyway. We like to have conversations with vendors in situations like ...

Hi Lisa, I have a person on my team who spends the bulk of her time on procurement activity, and works very closely with our Procurement office. We're very active negotiating contract language, establishing roadmaps, and following through with vendors on their commitments. Although things still slip ...

RE: Adobe Sign radio buttons and SR support

Found In Egroup: IT Accessibility Community \ view thread
Hi John, Thanks for bringing attention to this issue. When we last tested the Adobe Sign signing experience, it was better than I expected, although I don't recall if we tested radio buttons. It wouldn't surprise me if Adobe introduced a regression into the product. If you submit anything to Adobe, ...

Problem receiving EDUCAUSE Connect emails

Posted By Michael Vaughn 10-15-2021 12:17:21 PM
Found In Egroup: IT Accessibility Community \ view thread
I finally had a chance to figure out why I haven't been receiving any emails from the IT Access list since the switch to the new platform. I logged into my Connect profile, and found a section for email preferences, where it alerted me that there was a problem with my email address. I clicked a button ...

RE: WCAG 2.1 upgrade planning

Posted By Michael Vaughn 10-15-2021 12:06:56 PM
Found In Egroup: IT Accessibility Community \ view thread
Our policy requires conformance with WCAG 2.0 or successor version, which I take to mean that either is OK, since 2.0 is not deprecated. We have gradually shifted to 2.1 in our reviews and training. We ask vendors to meet 2.1, and if they say they can only meet 2.0 that's usually fine. Sadly many vendors ...
