Accessibility<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. What is something that you learned from the people sharing their experiences in these videos?\n
      \n
    1. I watched the Color Contrast Video and the Video Captions video. One thing I learned from these videos is the importance of considering how features on your website are built, so making sure the text and backgrounds are a nice contrast and the videos are captioned. The website overall needs to be accessible but so do the features. I learned that people with vision impairment need the contrast but so does everyone, because it can make it hard to read.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
    2. Identify 1 example of a technical feature, that is, something that can be implemented through the use of a design software, such as a web publishing editor that allows you to set alt text for an image.\n
        \n
      1. One technical feature that really helped me make a habit of including alt text is Omeka, because there are so many metadata categories and running through all the different categories helped me understand what to include in the alt text. StoryMaps and WordPress also let you use alt text while you upload a photo or media file.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
      2. Identify 1 example of a more conceptual design feature that cannot be implemented through a software but instead has to be considered in the course of creating the content itself.\n
          \n
        1. In the WCAG 2 A and AA Checklist, Yale recommends 1.3.2 Meaningful Sequence (A) (2.0), which reads: “Ensure that the source order presents content meaningfully. When the page is viewed without styles, all content on the page should still appear in a meaningful and logical order.” I thought this one was interesting because it’s so important to center content and meaning in your website design, but I also understand how when you really get into the details and more complicated parts it can be easy to lose the bigger picture and make sure the story is still holding together.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
        2. Identify 1 example of a feature you hadn\u2019t considered before as a part of web accessibility.\n
            \n
          1. I hadn’t really thought about colorblindness being a factor of visual accessibility, I knew about other types of visual impairment but colorblindness is a different factor. I anticipate I will see that when I run mine through the checker.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
          2. Run your portfolio website through an accessibility checker.<\/li>\n
          3. Fix the issues identified by the accessibility checker, noting any that you do not currently know how to fix.<\/li>\n
          4. Reflect on your developing understanding of web accessibility in a blog post on your portfolio site, covering the questions above: something you learned from experience videos, one identified technical feature, one identified conceptual feature, one feature you hadn’t considered before, what errors your portfolio site included (if any) and how you fixed them or are still figuring out how to fix them.\n
              \n
            1. I ran my website through a colorblind accessibility checker and I was not surprised to find that the colors on my website were viewed differently by people with red\/blind colorblindness because there are some colors on it. I am wondering what is the etiquette for users who have colorblindness when it comes to correcting a website. Is it bothersome that the colors are wrong? How do we account for all the types of colorblindness?How do we account for photos and other items that must be colorblind? Also, I haven’t figured out how to get this silly island off my posts page and that looked quite ridiculous in different settings.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
