Final Project Handin (Group)

This applies to presentations, word documents, and pdfs. You’ll need to demonstrate this on at least one presentation and one assignment writeup that is long and complex enough to have headers and structure to achieve competency. Best practices: Avoid visual clutter (e.g. use San serif fonts (for digital viewing), don’t have too many things on the page) Use headers appropriately. Headers should be nested like they are in HTML (e.g., H2 after and H1). For example, in Microsoft Word these are built-in “styles” and in Google Docs you can see these under “Format -> Paragraph Styles.” Use proper color contrast. Write alt text for all non-decorative photos, diagrams and videos. Use meaningful hyperlink text (e.g., "check out my web page" instead of "click here") Properly mark up tables Screen reader order is correct (in documents where it applies, such as Powerpoint)  \ Slides have room for captions Videos on slides are captioned Document/slide is not overly cluttered Font sizes are large enough (above 20 ideally for slides; above 11 for documents) How to demonstrate this competency: You will be assessed on this any time you turn in a required document.

Can describe images of various types including pictures, diagrams, screen shots, and so on in an accessible fashion. Image descriptions should be concise, complete and accurate. You should use best practices to decide when to mention the background, describe people, and so on. How to demonstrate this competency: You will be evaluated on this any time you turn in a document that has images in it. You can also ask us to assess a specific image description in some other context.

Plain Language Writing is part of ethical research in accessibility, namely to share research with the accessibility community. Please pick at least four guidelines to focus on from the following list and specify which four you picked. You can address more to reach a higher competency score. Follows best practices for plain language writing. Guidelines we will assess: Use simple words Use positive language Use short paragraphs Use short sentences Avoid jargon Use active voice Use present tense Use examples Use headers Use transition words How this will be assessed: You should turn in a reflection that states which guidelines from the list above you want us to consider during our assessment.

The primary measure of competency for this is the ability to argue for how a given technology meets or fails to meet the 10 principals of disability justice laid out by Sins Invalid. How to demonstrate this competency: Define each principal you are analyziing in your own words.  Write 1-2 paragraphs (~200-300 words) explaining how the service or technology described in the article you picked addresses, or fails to address, that principal.

Correctly understands the premise of accessibility projects. Should be able to summarize and critique accessibility projects, including your own, on the following concerns: - Is it ableist - What parts of the work are accessible and what are not (for example, are both design tools, and their outputs accessible?) - Are people with disabilities engaged in guiding this work? At what stages? - Is it being used to give control and improve agency for people with disabilities - Is it addressing the whole community (intersectionality, multiple disabled people, multiply disabled people) How to demonstrate this competency: Write 1-2 sentences answering each of the questions above.
