Overview on proposed refinements in structure

https://deploy-preview-389--wai-curricula.netlify.app/curricula/designer-modules/

Carlos: Agrees, probably more adapted to designer structure
... Not really sold yet on the landmarks and text topics
... where are you placing headings
... Also not sure about widgets on module 7, you will get there as you write the module

Donal: Also think landmarks and text is weird, and interested on how module 7 will evolve
... landmarks I see that term being used by people in the accessibility world, not so in the design world. Is landmarks almost a term that is used exclusively by accessibility specialists?
... Generally when I talk about is from and information design perspective I talk about structure

Site versus page navigation

https://github.com/w3c/wai-curricula/issues/377

https://github.com/w3c/wai-curricula/issues/377

https://deploy-preview-389--wai-curricula.netlify.app/curricula/designer-modules/navigation-design/

Carlos: I like the distinction between site and page navigation, even though there are mechanisms that are used in both.
... WE can add some note in there when we present these mechanisms, but I don't think that is a huge problem
... Last topic I am not sure about, maybe we need to get rid of it, its contents could be covered in the site navigation topic
... also headings relate both to page and site navigation

Donal: Conceptually page identification has always be more related to the structure of the page rather than navigation
... But also the indication about the current page on the menu needs to be signaled
... The use of behaviors and patterns is weir, maybe we need to call this just "Menus", although "behaviors" is helpful here
... Also very valid point that you raised about page internal menus,

Carlos: Agree with Donal on the menu behaviors and patterns topic, we only use patterns in the name of the topic and on one of the ideas to assess knowledge
... We also use types so maybe replacing these for patterns would help consistency if we still want to keep patterns

Module "Forms Design" first ideas for LOs for module

https://deploy-preview-389--wai-curricula.netlify.app/curricula/designer-modules/forms-design/#learning-outcomes-for-module

Donal: I would be totally satisfied with a module on forms and nothing else. Forms is really the main type of interaction of public bodies with the public.
... What is here seems comprehensive. I don't know here something like CAPTCHAs fall in this

https://deploy-preview-389--wai-curricula.netlify.app/curricula/designer-modules/multimedia-and-animations/

scribe: Maybe a place for CAPTCHAs here

https://deploy-preview-389--wai-curricula.netlify.app/curricula/designer-modules/images-and-graphics/

Carlos: +1 to include some of the CAPTCHA here, cross referencing to images and graphics
... Could have a learning outcome on custom widgets, like design accessible custom input fields
... I am not sure if the learning outcomes cover label positioning currently, it should be more explicit
... I would put explicitly error messages in the notifications sublist
