Project scope
- What is the main goal for this project?
-
We would like to test out and report on website accessibility! The main problem we are trying to solve is to garner more user feedback on our interface’s accessibility.
We would like to collaborate with students to conduct accessibility tests on our website with pre-identified customers.
This will involve several different steps for the students, including:
- Conducting background research on disabilities and methods of evaluating accessibility.
- Reaching out to customers and scheduling interviews.
- Familiarizing themselves with the test tasks that should be administered.
- Conducting accessibility tests remotely and following up with customers to thank them for their participation.
- Analyzing and reporting the metrics / results of the tests.
Bonus steps in the process would also include:
- Recommending website improvements based on findings.
- What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?
-
By the end of the project, students should demonstrate:
- Understanding of different disabilities and factors that affect a website’s accessibility
- Understanding of our accessibility testing procedure
- Analysis of accessibility testing results
Bonus steps would include:
- Recommending improvements for our website
Final deliverables should include:
- A final report.
- A 10-minute presentation.
