Two-day training in a traditional format, fully tailored to the context and product of client. A great example of how learning accessibility can be not only effective, but also enjoyable.
Works of art created with VR technology can also be accessible to people with disabilities. A project in which we were responsible for preparing audiodescription, and organizing research with users.
Do visually impaired people like to go to the theater? How to organize an accessible performance for them? How to create an accessible offer for them? How does theatrical audiodescription reach the audience?
This is one of our largest projects. We conducted thirteen training sessions, audits of three applications, two web applications and a mobile application, as well as regular consultations of the system being developed by the UX design team.
What is an audio description? What are the characteristics of a good audio description and how is it prepared? How does creating an audio description for an exhibition differ from a play and a film? The devil is in the detail.
The audit included testing of the site's compliance with WCAG 2.1 at AA level and testing with users with disabilities. Within the limited time and budget, we detected more than 160 issues. We proposed solutions for each of them too.
Examples of methods to look after digital accessibility in the long term: general and specific training, process changes, test automation, accessibility monitoring and testing with users with disabilities.
What requirements do the Polish and European Accessibility Act impose on companies and institutions? When have they been in force? What penalties are associated with non-compliance with these regulations? What are the regulations in other countries? And what does all this mean in practice.
Warsztaty podzielone były na część skupiającą się na technologii webowej oraz mobilnej. Podczas czterech godzin warsztatów uczestnicy mogli zapoznać się między innymi ze sposobem w jaki osoba z niepełnosprawnością wzroku korzysta z czytników ekranu na komputerze oraz w smartfonie a także mogli poćwiczyć sprawdzanie dostępności swoich rozwiązań pod okiem doświadczonych testerów.
The website sztukaopisana.pl is a clear, accessible, fast and responsive website. It contains dozens of audiodescriptions of the most famous paintings. They are available free of charge to everyone.
More than 40 testers and developers attended the online training and entered the world of mobile application accessibility testing. In a post-training survey the meeting was rated 4.66 on a five-point scale. The vast majority of participants declared the usefulness of the knowledge gained in their daily work and their desire to participate in future meetings and workshops on digital accessibility.
Training needs vary depending on the role in the project. Designers and UX specialists need to learn how to create accessible user interface designs, developers need to learn how to create accessible apps, and testers need to learn how to test and automate WCAG-compliant tests. It is worth taking the time to select training tailored to the audience instead of training everyone on everything.
