    Embracing Accessibility - Go for the Carrots

    by Shawn Henry

    Relevant technology area: Web Design and Applications.

    (see abstract)

    Abstract:
    Accessibility is essential for developers and organizations who want to create high quality websites and web tools, and not exclude people from using your online resources. Web accessibility is getting more attention at universities and colleges recently because of lawsuits. But that's just one aspect. In this session we'll look at the more exciting reasons to embrace accessibility, and how to reap the technical and financial benefits of accessibility. With engaging stories and illustrations, Shawn will offer a different approach to accessibility. Instead of focusing on the stick, go for the delicious carrots motivating accessibility.

    Abstract:
    For managers and practitioners whose organizations already do some web accessibility but could benefit from increasing their commitment to accessibility, and organizations that don't address web accessibility at all. Participants will learn about the social, technical, financial, and legal and policy factors in the business case for web accessibility; understand how accessibility supports social inclusion for people with disabilities and others; understand how accessibility overlaps with other best practices such as mobile web design, device independence, multi-modal interaction, usability, design for older users, and search engine optimization (SEO); and get statistics, case studies, and other resources supporting the business case. At the end of the session, participants will have a first draft of their own customized web accessibility business case. (Laptop encouraged.)

    Options for Multimodal Applications -- platforms, standards, and tools

    by Deborah Dahl

    Mobile Voice 2012

    San Francisco, USA

    Relevant technology areas: Browsers and Other Agents, Web Design and Applications, and Web of Devices.

    (see abstract)

    Abstract:
    Multimodal applications leverage the strengths of both voice and graphics to create compelling and usable mobile applications. However,companies interested in creating multimodal applications must choose among a variety of platforms and development tools offered by a number of different vendors, and the choice can be difficult. This presentation discusses the pros and cons of existing multimodal platforms and tools. We will also discuss how voice and multimodal standards can reduce the risk of being locked into proprietary technologies.

    Developing Mobile Web Applications (tutorial)

    by Dominique Hazaël-Massieux and Frances de Waal

    Relevant technology areas: Web Design and Applications and Web of Devices.

    (see abstract)

    Abstract:

    Participants to the tutorial will learn how to build applications for mobile devices using Web technologies. We will first focus on what makes it different to use the Web on mobile devices compared to computers: the specific constraints of these devices, as well as their increasing specific advantages.

    We will then learn how to work around these constraints to provide a good user experience on mobile devices.

    The tutorial will then look at how to exploit all the specificities of the mobile user experience, via JavaScript APIs, touch interactions, camera integration, etc.
