Hi Jill - I'm also thinking of purchasing the pro version. I use the free version often for pre-purchase reviews but would love to be able to provide campus owners and vendors with a report. I have used Lighthouse reports which provide similar information and to save me some time. What I really appreciate ...

A quick plug to review your newsletters for accessibility or "friendliness to all users" e.g. can someone listen to the articles/info, are images described or marked as decorative, is simple language used (e.g. are acronyms defined somewhere), is link text descriptive enough so a reader knows what will ...

Many thanks to everyone for this conversation. So many thoughts are swirling in my head. What follows is a two parter - an attempt at a higher view and a practical share.

Hi Erin, I would definitely suggest breaking larger manuals into smaller topics. Maybe also give some thought to adding keywords or labels to help with findability. If the article or chapter is well written, those keywords can pop up naturally in search, but sometimes we have internal vocabulary for ...

Just curious - has the group developed guidelines for accessibility in relation to Digital Signage? For example, what suggestions are there to ensure that people with low or no vision are able to get the same information as others? What about physical placement guidelines (such as mounting height, angle ...

Thanks, Brian. So it sounds like your focus is just with data you are getting from Blackboard A11y? Or are there other areas that will go into the dashboard e.g. main website accessibility issues, number of courses and faculty affected by accommodation requests, etc. -- Corrine Schoeb Technology Accessibility ...
