Web accessibility analytics is important to provide
managers, administrators and developers with objective information about the
accessibility of the resources that are part of communicating information about
their organization and the services they provide. Data is important to help
determine the types of accessibility issues and how to allocate scarce
resources to improve accessibility. Analytics provides a way to set measurable
goals for accessibility improvements and gives developers a way to verify their
accessibility improvements. The Open Web Accessibility Alliance is creating
open source tools and web development resources for web developers and
designers. The presentation will demonstrate the AInspector Sidebar and FAE 2.0
which are open source tools to help web developers understand the accessibility
features and problems with the resources they are developing. In addition to
the tools the coding practices web resources will be also presented. The coding
practices are designed to help web developers understand the accessibility
issues of meeting the requirements of Section 508 and W3C Web Content
Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 requirements. The rules used in the tools
support compliance with W3C WCAG 2.0 Level A and AA Success Criterion. Since
the tools are open source they can be customized to meet the accessibility
policies and priorities of each organization. ADA Online Learning sponsors this
event.
