Intro to Web Accessibility (see video)

• What could be a more appropriate 1-year anniversary post than this excellent presentation by Michele A. Williams? In just 16 minutes she explains accessibility in great detail, starting with no assumed knowledge, and bringing the audience up to a good level of understanding about WCAG, WAI, HTML standards, Assistive Technology and team responsibilities. I learned something too – that JAWS stands for Job Access With Speech. A highly recommended watch for anyone new to accessibility!
