Web 2.0 Accessibility (using the W3C ARIA Specifications)
This online course is designed for web developers to learn how to use the emerging W3C Accessible Rich Internet Applications (ARIA) recommendations to create accessible Web 2.0 applications. Participants will learn about the accessibility issues faced by people with disabilities in using the web, and how web resources can be designed to improve accessibility using the ARIA web standards.
Topics will include learning about the W3C "Roles for ARIA" and "States and Properties Module for ARIA" specifications for making Web 2.0 widgets compatible with assistive technologies through ARIA support in the Mozilla Firefox browser and assistive technologies like WindowEyes and JAWS screen readers. Participants will also build and test accessible Web 2.0 widgets using a best practices model, and learn about compatibility issues related to supporting ARIA widgets with Microsoft Internet Explorer and to creating valid HTML documents.
