Over this time, I have felt that the rate of adoption has been relatively slow and the number of countries and other regulatory authorities now using WCAG 2 is lower than I expected. http://tc.eserver.org/34428.html http://tc.eserver.org/34428.html Many people have not had the opportunity to see someone use a refreshable Braille device to access the web. I recently videoed Bruce Maguire describing how he uses the Internet with a refreshable Braille display. He also demonstrates finding a book on the Amazon site. Transcript of the video is at the end of this document. http://tc.eserver.org/32889.html http://tc.eserver.org/32889.html In this presentation, the authors report on a survey and testing with screen reader users designed to determine how the placement of navigation in the source order (before or after content) affects accessibility. http://tc.eserver.org/30189.html http://tc.eserver.org/30189.html The rapid growth in the use of PDFs on Websites has lead to increasing concerns about accessibility, particularly for the users of screen reading technology, which converts text into synthetic speech or electronic Braille. http://tc.eserver.org/25103.html http://tc.eserver.org/25103.html Well before most us come to the end of our working lives use of the Internet and World Wide Web in education will be standard practice. http://tc.eserver.org/25098.html http://tc.eserver.org/25098.html This paper offers some observations on the ways 9 to 12 year children search for information on websites and how this may differ from the search behaviour of adults. http://tc.eserver.org/25100.html http://tc.eserver.org/25100.html The Internet is a new marketing frontier where the rules and regulations are rapidly evolving. Governments throughout the world aim to redress this imbalance by providing protection to their citizens through laws and regulations which control the use of advertising. http://tc.eserver.org/25101.html http://tc.eserver.org/25101.html Although the general performance of commercial sites is poor at the moment, increasing awareness of Web-user behaviour and the importance of site usability will improve this situation. http://tc.eserver.org/25099.html http://tc.eserver.org/25099.html The children starting primary school this year can be truly described as the first of the web generation, for all were born after 1992 when the World Wide Web as we know it today came into existence. The ability of web sites to stimulate and satisfy the needs of these kids, along with those of all other web users, will largely depend on web site usability. http://tc.eserver.org/25102.html http://tc.eserver.org/25102.html The aim of the Virtual Classroom project is to create an environment that will help stimulate purposeful communication between English language learners across the globe. http://tc.eserver.org/25096.html http://tc.eserver.org/25096.html This article examines the types of problems visitors may encounter when using the web, with insightful and practical suggestions on how to develop websites that are inclusive for people with cognitive impairments and learning difficulties. http://tc.eserver.org/25088.html http://tc.eserver.org/25088.html With this paper... we are primarily concerned with the problems people with cognitive and learning difficulties might have when using the web and offering a few practical suggestions on how these problems might be addressed. http://tc.eserver.org/25089.html http://tc.eserver.org/25089.html This paper is concerned with how the use of hyperlinks and frames to present material from another website may infringe the rights of the originating site.
