[WACC201] Instructions for Session 2

Dear [First Name]

In this session we’ll jump right into the important details with an Introduction to WCAG 2.0, the guidelines used when assessing web accessibility. The topics in this session will be a recap for you if you have taken WACC101 Introduction to Web Accessibility. It will introduce the WCAG Principles, talk about what is needed for WCAG Conformance, and provide a WCAG2 Review of the Canvas Lms as an example of what an audit report might look like.

The activity this session will provide a fun way to explore WCAG and its accompanying resources. Please post your results from the scavenger hunt to your learning blog, and post a link to it in the Course General Forum and compare your findings with others to see how well you did.
