Forum .LRN Q&A: Re: dotLRN accessibility study

Posted by Tristan Kalnins-Cole on
Ok, I've completed all the documentation and uploaded it to my webspace. There are three documents:

Thesis.doc (http://www.eelab.usyd.edu.au/~tkal6763/THESIS/THESIS.doc) is my entire thesis document.

accessibility.html (http://www.eelab.usyd.edu.au/~tkal6763/THESIS/accessibility.html) is a standalone, accessible html version of the accessibility analysis document extracted from the thesis.

problem.html (http://www.eelab.usyd.edu.au/~tkal6763/THESIS/problem.html) is a standalone, accessible version of all problems found with the default installation. It links to and from the main accessibility.html page (note; at this stage the images of the problems are viewable only in the thesis document and are not available in the html version. I plan to add these soon).

I sincerely hope some of these results are useful for the DotLRN community and I would love to discuss anything regarding them (or accessibility in general).

Thanks,
- Tristan Kalnins-Cole.

I just went through your thesis Tristan. Great work. The structured problem identification and recommended followup is excellent and will certainly result in work on accessibility in an upcoming release (do not be surprised if some of the changes make it into 2.1). It is motivating to hear that we are so close level A compliance and "solid in terms of accessibility in default form". It asserts the philosophy behind the toolkit. Thank you for your contribution.
