Web Content Accessibility Guidelines You are here: Home > Articles > The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines A WCAG 2.0 Checklist is available for developers to use in implementing and verifying conformance with WCAG 2.0. The W3C's Web Accessibility Initiative The W3C is an international, vendor-neutral group that determines the protocols and standards for the web. They create the specifications for HTML, CSS, etc. A primary initiative of the W3C is to develop accessibility standards. Version 1.0 of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines was a major development in making the Internet more accessible to people with disabilities. Over time, WCAG 1.0 began to show its age. The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 builds upon the foundation of WCAG 1.0, but also introduces some significant changes worth discussing. The shift from technique-centered guidelines to principle-centered guidelines resulted in a reduced number of top level ideas, or principles. Perceivable Operable Understandable Robust

Défi distance ! Points de repère pédagogiques L'équipe du Louvain Learning Lab a élaboré l'infographie ci-dessous, en collaboration avec l'équipe IT qui gère la plateforme d'apprentissage en ligne Moodle UCLouvain.

Elle est partagée sous licence Creative Commons dans le répertoire des Open Educational Resources de l'UCLouvain, permettant à chacun de la modifier et de la repartager à son tour.

A Comprehensive Guide to UX Research Methods A Comprehensive Guide to UX Research Methods You can’t build a product people will fall in love if you don’t know your audience. To maximize your chances of success, it’s extremely important to conduct insight research before making any product decisions. User research is a process of understanding user needs, wants, and behaviors using different observation and feedback collection methods. In fact, UX research is the starting point for any project–it comes first in the UX design process because, without a proper research, product design can only be based on a designer’s own experiences and assumptions, which isn’t objective. The field of user experience has a wide range of research techniques available and quite often it’s not obvious which one you should choose for a given project. Before You Start Your Research, Understand Your Goal Once you know what you’re trying to learn and why you can start thinking about how to learn it.
