HEH 32: Back to the Boob: The Quilt Situation

Listen Later

Scott had a son, and is adjusting to life as a new parent (and the time he took off work). The GVSU guys jump back into accessibility training with a new consultant…. and then somehow the conversation transitions to quilts.

Scott had a son, and talks about paternity leave and FMLA and paternity/maternity leave at universities. Additional, he is very very very very sleep-deprived.

GVSU engaged Deque Systems for accessibility training.

  • They gave the GVSU site an A… NOT an A+ (because the bottom of the drop-down menus did not go to the next menu)
    • …shame on Daniel!!!
  • If someone is deaf from birth, they initially learn ASL before learning english.
  • Working accessibility into the dev process – get involved early. Checklists were provided to different roles on the team (content, dev, design, front-end).
  • How do you keep content creators following accessibility standards? GVSU is thinking about requiring training before handing over the keys to the CMS.

    • How is accessibility handled centrally at universities?

    How much time does your dev team spend trying to fix your site for older versions of browsers that make up 2% of your audience? Accessibility is a much larger percentage and we don’t focus on that.

    QUILTS!!!!!!
