Description:

Ontario libraries’ websites must conform to the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. A common mistake is assuming WCAG can be checked using automated tools when many checkpoints require human evaluation. This session explains manual testing in WCAG and how to do it.

Outcomes:
Attendees will be able to complete basic manual checks of web content accessibility and explain why manual checking is necessary.
