IEEE ProComm Workshop: Accessibility in Web Design

By Kim Wallace

Abstract:

Ideally, content created by technical communicators would be accessible to anyone regardless of disability or impairment. However, most content (e.g., documents, webpages, and digital media) are not suited for all potential users. This issue prevents some people from accessing certain content, which makes it difficult to distribute information, products, entertainment, etc., to as many users as possible. In this workshop, participants will learn about the importance of accessibility and how to implement it successfully in their content. Participants will learn concrete skills and, ideally, experience an increased motivation to learn more about accessibility.
