Authoring tools knowledge https://github.com/w3c/wai-curricula/issues/592#issuecomment-1173597028

Daniel: Kevin - no link for resources for knowing authoring tools accessibility. Is it reasonable to expect this of instructors.
… Could point to ATAG overview page. Kevin seems okay with this.

Gerhard: shouldn't require knowledge of accessible authoring tools from students.

Daniel: will only require this of instructors.

Carlos: fully agree as having this as competence for instructors. Not sure following why authoring tool resource should be part of teaching resources.
… never mind - in full agreement with Daniel's proposal.

Daniel: should be prior knowledge for instructors.

Howard: should we put the link to the resource on a11y authoring tools in context (where it is mentioned)?

Daniel: we can provide link to resource in context.
… Will add this resource in the teaching resources section and a link within context (at the bullet point).

LOs about ensuring alternatives are available https://github.com/w3c/wai-curricula/issues/574

Daniel: comment from Carlos: questioning use of 'ensure' instead of 'provide.' Probably need something in middle ground.

Carlos: not against all uses of 'ensure,' just 2 uses he mentioned in his github issue above.
… more appropriate learning outcome would be student knowing when transcript is needed and how that transcript would be created.

Daniel: need a wording more aligned with learning outcomes in other modules.

Daniel: will address this change of wording in learning outcomes.

Changing order of modules/ First "Structure", then "Clear Content"

Daniel: Sylvie - should we reverse the order 'clear content' and 'structure'?
… i.e. 'structure' would come first.
… Thinking had been that 'clear content' was more under the control of the content author. Therefore,
… makes sense that it comes first. I.e. keep the current order.

Brian: agrees with Daniel.

+1 to Daniel.

Carlos: also agrees with Daniel and keeping 'clear content' first.

<GN> +1 to Daniel

Moving topic "Titles and Link Text" from "Clear Content" to 'Structure" https://github.com/w3c/wai-curricula/issues/544

Daniel: Michele had asked if 'page titles' should belong under 'structure,' rather than clear content.

Daniel: feels this better fits under 'clear content,' because of the audience.

<BrianE> +1 to Daniel

Howard: feels better under 'clear content' because it is also semantics, more relevant to content authors. The more we can ...

make this a content issue, the more relevant it is for content authors.

Carlos: agrees it's best to keep in 'clear content' module.

Daniel: share with team any use of curricula resources.
