Discussion:
Follow-Up on Offer from NYU: They have a number of hours from an accessibility/usability firm, TPG.
Hans from TPG attended last SAWG call, but can't make this one.
Matt and Jeff talked about this on the Core Team call, Feb 21. Slight preference for addressing ARIA globally, over doing a deep-dive on Samigo.
Our known ARIA issues are https://jira.sakaiproject.org/issues/?jql=text%20~%20%22Ensure%20ARIA%20roles%22 Can we think of a plan for seeking ARIA guidance (ie. My Workspace on, a sub-set of roles and states an LMS should be sticking to..)
Here are some ideas about how the Sakai Accessibility Working Group could make use of NYU’s generous offer of some hours from TPG.
Evaluate the accessibility of some scenarios, with a particular focus on a purposeful use of ARIA roles and events and focus management. Here’s the 20 tasks rA11y looked at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1eOazGv8Ff_Y1l4wZR2H6SjII7-UqFCzMrMcqIscJWVQ/edit?usp=sharing . There are a lot of possible sources to draw upon to add that list.
Help us develop some ARIA design patterns (like https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-practices-1.1/#aria_ex ) that are relevant to the type of activities in an LMS, specifically Sakai
A clever idea TPG might have
