Thick, Rich, and Accessible

One of the biggest challenges for making websites accessible is incorporating rich and dynamic content or actions. Working things like video, AJAX-heavy streaming data, and non-traditional mouse-and-keyboard actions or controls into a site has long been regarded as casting accessibility to the wind. In this session, techniques for appropriate integration, setup, and uses of rich content for accessibility will be shown. Attendees will learn how to incorporate the following into their modules, themes, and sites:

• Audio and video

• Slideshows

• Javascript- and AJAX-reliant content sources and applications

• WYSIWYG interfaces
