Dear [First Name]

Welcome to Session 4: Basic WAI-ARIA

This session will get a little more hands on, working with code and markup, to add in accessibility.

We’ll distinguish further between static WAI-ARIA, that can be written right into HTML, and dynamic WAI-ARIA, that gets added to HTML through scripting. Even if you are not familiar with JavaScript, there is still a fair amount you can do with static WAI-ARIA to add accessibility elements to web content.

This session you’ll have a chance to apply some static WAI-ARIA to a website to improve navigation, and to provide more usable feedback for assistive technology users.

From this point on in the course, any questions or discussions regarding the widgets you’ll be working on, should be posted to the General forum. Everyone should subscribe to this forum and monitor it for coding related discussions that will help with the activities, and so you’re not asking questions that have already been answered. And, it will give you an opportunity to help your fellow participants when you’re able.

This session's tasks:

Best wishes
