Engaging industry and the public sector in accessible, inclusive design - do we need to shout louder or smarter?
with David Sloan Digital Media Access Group, School of Computing University of Dundee
24thMay '11
About the event
Awareness of accessibility and inclusive design is arguably at an all-time high, yet we still see shortcomings in quality of accessibility of new ICTs, while legacy content with serious accessibility issues and new user generated content are also persistent challenges.
The recently-established European eAccessibility network, eAccess+, has been funded firstly to raise awareness of existing good practice in accessibility, and secondly to understand more about difficulties industry and the public sector has in adopting more accessible design practices of ICTS such as web sites, public access terminals and interactive digital TV.
