Experiments at the Edges of Experience


11:30 - 12:15pm on Saturday, April 10 2010 in Phoenix

Summary:
Dive straight into accessibility at the edges of user experience. Learn about
tools and techniques you can use right away in your quest to craft the most
usable and accessible of applications and sites. More importantly, we’ll look
at the concepts behind the techniques so you can start experimenting on your
own, and walk away inspired—and ready to inject accessibility into the web.

Overview
In this not so everyday look at accessibility, we'll look at 10 experimental
concepts and techniques that were developed by:

1) identifying accessibility needs
2) generating ideas to accomodating these needs
3) creating and testing experimental solutions that meet these needs

In doing so, we'll put your skills as a new or experienced Information
Architect or designer to the test as you leave looking for accessibility and
usability issues to solve in sites and applications that you build or work with
every day. You'll approach the work that you do with new insight into what is
possible when we talk about accessibility as part of user experience. Armed
with these innovations, a few readily available tools, and your insight into
people, you'll be able to work with your teams to start solving more
accessibility problems today.
