In this CompilED article, you’ll find three practical digital accessibility strategies that can be applied to educational video projects.
Integration testing web applications in the browser has always been a challenge. Cypress unique architecture offers a different way.
This post offers an approach that takes into account accessibility experience in addition to technical compliance for accessible interactive PDF documents.
I restructured and redesigned the CTL DevTeam’s website CompilED to meet web accessibility standards, and to improve its overall user experience on all devices.
Application design for accessibility and inclusion is not simply a technical implementation appended to a development process. The awareness of the learning process informs us how we should code to ensure that the intended pedagogy can be processed by everyone, with differing abilities, through all devices.
This summer, we migrated two projects, MATCH and PASS, to a more open and sustainable framework. Openness and sustainability pose interesting challenges such as responsiveness and accessibility. We have committed ourselves to good faith effort in making sure that both sites perform well on all devices including assistive technologies.
We moved CompilED to Hugo, a general-purpose static site generator, to test this framework’s flexibility and durability to accommodate our blog’s requirements and workflow. This post outlines how we converted CompilED from Movable Type, streamlined its user experience, and optimized the site for accessibility, responsive design, and searchability.
