Agenda:

If you are working on an Accessibility project, you ought to be paying careful attention to the WCAG 3.o Guidelines. Note: Yes the guidelines are currently in draft mode now, but they will be standard very soon. In this Masterclass, we cover the latest Accessibility guidelines from the W3 consortium, as well as the US Section 508 Refresh of 2018 + EU Accessibility Directive of 2018. This Masterclass aims to get you ready for adjusting your accessibility efforts around the new approaches and criteria contained in WCAG 3.0. To be clear, WCAG 3.0.is a welcomed update that improves how we deliver accessibility commitments. It moves us toward a more accurate and inclusive approach to how we evaluate, test, and optimize the accessibility user experience for persons with disabilities.

Topics to be covered in this Masterclass:

• The business case for accessibility.
• Tools for engaging stakeholders with accessibility.
• Bringing in a disability-centric model to Agile accessibility.
• Navigating the WCAG 3.0 guidelines.
• Adjusting your “pass” and conformance criteria.
• Conducting ‘Holistic testing’ with users with disabilities.
• Re-evaluating your inclusion commitments: What’s beyond “AA” compliance?
• Updating how you evaluate including VPAT reporting (Voluntary Product Accessibility Template).
• Tips for implementing an accessibility program.
• Scaling accessible User Research or aUXR and inclusive ResearchOps strategy.
