I don't know what the best practice is, but since the browsers determine where those open in new window links go to, I've asked our developers to no longer use that shortcut text on links. The UX is compromised if the user is told they will be opening in a new window but their actually opening ...

From the perspective of someone who is blind, and used to be legally blind: I don't think Adobe Photoshop is a worthwhile use of your students time and energy.

I totally agree. How do we make the ACR/VPAT process as important to vendors as they are to us, as educational institutions? Often I've found vendors don't know the importance of the ACR/VPAT from an institutional perspective; they just know they want to make the sale. Often they'll say anything to ...

GPS works great outdoors as long as the device used has clear site to the satellites floating around above us, but it won't work well around tall buildings with lots of metal and concrete. GPS will be super unreliable inside of buildings for the same reason noted above. Regarding interior building ...

One place to look into is TeachAccess.org. TeachAccess.org offers grants for faculty to incorporate accessibility information into their curriculum. Also, consider diving into the NSF and NEH grant opportunities. There's lots to do. Keep up the great work! Best, David David Engebretson ...

I agree with Buddy; it's a treasure trove. Thanks for all of the hard work put into this trove. I'll refrain from complaining about the accessibility of Trello using a screen reader for now. Thank you for making this information public using direct links to the resources. It's very helpful for me ...

Operating systems, browsers, software (including assistive technologies) are updated so frequently now that it is difficult to keep track of how to perform tasks in ...
