They guide us in creating content that is accessible by everyone, irrespective of their abilities or the technologies they use. As we explore these principles further, consider them as essential considerations in every phase of your content development process.”
### Slide 4: Making Images Accessible
- Title: Accessible Images
- Bullets:
Decorative Images:
- Use an empty alt attribute (alt=“”) to indicate that the image does not add information to the content.
- Ensure decorative images are also ignored by screen readers to avoid unnecessary distractions.
- Consider using CSS background images for purely decorative graphics.
Informative Images:
- Provide concise alt text that describes the scene or concept depicted in the image.
- Mention colors or important details only if they are relevant to understanding the image’s message.
- When text is part of the image, repeat that text in the alt attribute or nearby in the page.
- Use alt text to explain the image’s relevance to the content if it isn’t immediately clear.
Functional Images:
- Ensure alt text clearly describes the action that will be taken, not just the image’s appearance (e.g., “Search” rather than “magnifying glass”).
- Include the type of action in the alt text (e.g., “Submit form button”, “Open link in new window”).
- Test with screen readers to ensure that the functional image’s purpose is communicated effectively through its alt description.
Complex Images:
- For charts, graphs, maps, and complex graphics, use a longer description to convey the detailed content the image represents.
- Consider linking to a full description via “more info” link that points to a detailed textual representation of the image’s content.
- Utilize the longdesc attribute or an ARIA-described by attribute to link to more detailed descriptions if available.
- Provide a summary of the image’s key points as alt text, ensuring the main message is conveyed to those who cannot see the image.
Additional Points:
- Checking alt text relevance: Regularly review and update alt text to ensure it remains relevant and accurate as the content or context changes.
- Avoid duplicating nearby text: Ensure the alt text does not repeat information already available in the text close to the image.
- Use clear, straightforward language: Write alt text in plain language to make sure it is easy for all users to understand.
- Prioritize information: For all types of images, consider what information is most important for a user who cannot see the image and ensure this is reflected in your alt text or description.
### Slide 5: Effective Link Usage Expanded
#### Descriptive Link Texts:
- Use clear and concise text that indicates the link’s destination or function.
- Avoid using the URL as link text unless the URL is the focus of the content.
- Contextualize the link within the surrounding sentence to enhance understanding.
#### Avoid “Click Here” and “Read More”:
- Replace non-descriptive text with phrases that explain where the link goes or what it does.
- Incorporate link text into a meaningful sentence or phrase that provides information about the link’s destination.
#### Warning for New Windows or File Downloads:
- Clearly indicate if a link will open a new window or tab, or if it will initiate a file download.
- Use off-screen text or an icon (with accessible text) to signal behavior, e.g., “(opens in a new window)” or a PDF icon for document downloads.
### Slide 6: Button Accessibility Expanded
#### Clear, Descriptive Labels:
- Labels should directly correspond to the action the button performs, using verbs and action phrases.
- Consider the button’s context on the page to ensure its purpose is clear, even out of context.
#### Utilizing ARIA Labels for Icon Buttons:
- When buttons only contain an icon, use aria-label to provide an accessible name for the button.
- Example for a print button: <button aria-label="Print this page"><i class="fas fa-print"></i></button>
#### Testing with Screen Readers:
- Regularly test buttons with screen readers to ensure the aria-label or visible text can be correctly interpreted and announced.
### Slide 7: Structuring Headings for Accessibility Expanded
#### Logical Heading Structure:
- Use headings sequentially without skipping levels to ensure a coherent structure, facilitating navigation for screen reader users.
- Clearly distinguish between section titles (using headings) and content to avoid confusion.
#### Conciseness and Clarity:
- Headings should be brief yet descriptive enough to provide insight into the following section’s content.
- Avoid using headings for styling purposes only. Use CSS for visual presentation instead.
#### Visual and Semantic Consistency:
- Ensure headings are styled consistently across the site to maintain clarity and predictability for users with cognitive disabilities.
### Slide 8: Form Accessibility Best Practices Expanded
#### Labeling and Structure:
- Associate labels explicitly with their input fields using the for and id attributes to ensure clarity for screen reader users.
- Group related fields with <fieldset> and describe the group with <legend> to provide context.
#### Error Identification and Description:
- Provide specific, actionable error messages that guide users to resolve the error. E.g., “Password must have at least 8 characters.”
- Use ARIA live regions to announce dynamic changes such as error messages, so screen reader users are informed without needing to refresh the page.
#### Required Fields and Instructions:
- Clearly mark required fields with a visual indicator, such as an asterisk (*), and provide a text explanation of what the indicator means.
- Include pre-fill instructions or examples in labels or placeholders to reduce user errors.
### Slide 10: Multimedia Content Accessibility Expanded
#### Captions and Transcripts for Audio and Video:
- Provide captions for all pre-recorded video content to assist users who are deaf or hard of hearing.
- Transcripts should include all spoken dialogue and describe important sound effects and visual details for users who cannot access video.
#### Sign Language for Key Video Content:
- For crucial or complex information, consider providing a sign language interpretation to ensure accessibility for users who rely on sign language.
#### Testing with Users:
- Engage users with diverse abilities in testing multimedia content to ensure captions, transcripts, and sign language interpretations meet their needs effectively.
#### Title: Accessible Tables: Structure and Clarity
- Bullets:
- Purposeful Structure: Use table headers (<th>) logically to define rows and columns. Utilize the scope attribute to specify whether they apply to rows, columns, or groups.
- Captivating Captions: Implement <caption> to provide tables with context, assisting users in understanding the table’s purpose and content at a glance.
- Simplify Complexity: Avoid overly complex tables. Split large tables into smaller ones when possible to enhance readability and navigation.
- Visual Suggestions: Create a side-by-side graphic: one side illustrating a correctly labeled table with headers and captions, and the opposite showing a table without these features.
- Speaker Notes: “Tables, when designed with accessibility in mind, not only convey information clearly but also ensure that all users, regardless of how they access content, can understand and interpret data effectively.”
### Slide on List Accessibility Expanded
#### Title: Crafting Accessible Lists
- Bullets:
- Ordered & Unordered Lists: Use ordered lists (<ol>) for sequential information and unordered lists (<ul>) for non-sequential data, ensuring a logical grouping of related items.
- Proper Coding Practices: Always wrap list items (<li>) in their respective list containers (<ul> or <ol>) to maintain semantic structure and readability.
- Visual Styling for Clarity: Visually differentiate lists from the surrounding text to help users identify list structure, using bullet points or numbers effectively.
- Visual Suggestions: Depict an example of well-structured lists, highlighting their semantic HTML structure.
- Speaker Notes: “Lists organize information in a straightforward manner, making it easier for everyone, including users with screen readers, to navigate and understand content chunks efficiently.”
### Slide on Reading Order Expanded
#### Title: Ensuring Logical Reading Order
- Bullets:
- Visual vs. Code Order: Guarantee that the code order matches the visual order, ensuring content flows logically for screen reader users.
- Test with Keyboard: Navigate through your content using only a keyboard to check for any disruptions in the logical sequence.
- Flexible Layouts: Use CSS Flexbox and Grid layout techniques to control visual presentation without affecting the underlying source order.
- Visual Suggestions: Before-and-after scenarios demonstrating the impact of proper reading order on accessibility.
- Speaker Notes: “A logical reading order is paramount in creating an accessible user experience, ensuring all users can follow your content exactly as intended.”
### Slide on Sensory Characteristics Expanded
#### Title: Beyond Sensory Characteristics
- Bullets:
- Avoid Reliance on Color Alone: Ensure information conveyed with color is also available through text, symbols, or patterns.
- Direction and Location: Avoid instructions that rely solely on direction, shape, size, or location. Combine these with descriptive text.
- Multi-Modal Instructions: Provide instructions through multiple sensory channels—text, visuals, and audio—to accommodate diverse user needs.
- Visual Suggestions: Illustrate examples where sensory characteristics are supplemented with descriptive text or symbols.
- Speaker Notes: “Incorporating multiple ways to convey information ensures that all users, regardless of their sensory capabilities, can understand and interact with your content.”
