Monthly UW Web Accessibility and Usability Meetup

These monthly meetups, formerly known as “Explore with Hadi”, provide an opportunity for UW web developers and designers to discuss accessibility and usability issues in a relaxed, casual setting, and provide friendly feedback on each others’ web projects. We encourage you to bring your accessibility questions or just join us to see what others are working on. Meetings are hosted by Hadi Rangin, a web accessibility specialist with UW-IT Accessible Technology Services. Hadi has a Master’s degree in computer science and is a screen reader user himself, so these meetings are great opportunities to experience how your website might be experienced by someone using assistive technology.

Meetups are now held at a new time: On the 4th Tuesday of each month, 11:00am – Noon. The agenda and Zoom URL are announced a few days prior to the event on the AccessibleWeb@U email list (see below for details about the list). If you would like to attend and are not a subscriber to this list, please contact us by sending an email to help@uw.edu or by submitting our Accessibility Consultation Form (requires a UW NetID) and we’ll send you the link.

Summer Series for Faculty Support Partners: Collaborative Accessibility Problem Solving

Join colleagues for this informal networking series with partners across the UW system for collaborative problem-solving. We’ll talk about challenges we face and how we can support faculty in accessibility efforts in the coming academic year.

Your host, Mary-Colleen Jenkins, an instruction accessibility specialist with Accessible Technology Services, will begin each session’s discussion with a digital accessibility topic, question, or challenge and we’ll see where the conversation goes.

Register for sessions below to receive a Zoom link and reminder notification. Feel free to bring your lunch to one, two, or all three scheduled sessions.

Sessions are from noon to 1:00pm on the following Tuesdays:

Accessible Technology Webinar Series

We currently have no new webinars scheduled, but video recordings and links to resources from past webinars are available on the Webinar Series Archives page.

IT Accessibility Liaisons meetings

IT Accessibility Liaisons are people who represent their work unit, large or small, in a tri-campus movement to promote the procurement, development, and use of IT that is accessible to everyone. The growing network of Liaisons meets three times per year for a half-day training, typically in February, May, and November. Details about the next meeting will be posted here once they’re finalized. For more information on becoming a Liaison, see the IT Accessibility Liaisons page.

AccessibleWeb@U

AccessibleWeb@U is a community of UW web designers, developers, and other interested people who discuss and share ideas on accessible web design through their online discussion list.
