Web Accessibility 2.0 Seminars
During November and December, WIPA presented seminars in Canberra, Sydney and Brisbane with the aim of providing an overview of WCAG 2.0 and demonstrating how to improve the accessibility of Flash and PDF material.
- Roger Hudson talked about WCAG 2.0, describing some of the practical differences between it and WCAG 1.0.
- Simon Reid, formally of Adobe, showed how to improve the accessibility of Flash using CS4 and demonstrated Sound Booth.
- Andrew Downie, from the Centre for Learning Innovation within the NSW Department of Education and Training, demonstrated how screen readers can use and access Flash and PDFs. He also described how to make accessible PDFs that can bring benefits to screen reader users.
Vision Australia and WIPA cooperated to put on a similar seminar in Victoria in December.
All up, nearly 400 people attended the seminars and the feedback was great. Various people asked us to put the presentation PowerPoints and audio recordings of the sessions on the WIPA site.
