AccessU 2024: Prototyping Accessibility Notes

I ran a 3-hour workshop at John Slatin AccessU 2024 in Austin titled “Prototyping Accessibility.” The nice thing about workshops is that they are a dialog between the participants as much as with me. The less nice thing about workshops is standing up for three hours.

I do not make the PowerPoint file available because my slides have been taken and used by others before, and I believe they should have to exert at least some modicum of effort to steal from me. I also did not export this as a PDF owing to it being a workshop, so the slides aren’t much use on their own anyway.

However, I gathered some of the resources I mentioned in that workshop (which are mostly mine but which link to supporting materials):

AccessU is not the kind of event that generates a lot of social media activity. People during the workshop who were on their phones were probably just bored or doom-scrolling, because they certainly weren’t posting about the workshop to Masto or the hell-site. I did have some posts, however.
