Video Introduction to WAI Resources and WAI Website

Important note: Right now we have a small budget to edit the video material that we have. If we want to do something different with new filming, that would need to be done under a different project later.

Requirements Analysis

The problem that we're wanting to address (help solve):
People don't know that WAI provides resources on all the topics that we do. Even some people who know about WAI, think we have mostly just WCAG and technical materials.

Goals:

  • Watchers learn about the wide range of resources covering different aspects of web accessibility
  • People who like videos get an engaging intro to WAI resources and WAI website
  • Watchers get comfortable with the WAI website
  • People share the video a lot

Ultimate goal:

  • When people want info related to digital accessibility, the first thing they check is the WAI website

Audience:

  • Primary: People who are not familiar with WAI resources &/or WAI website
  • Also: People who think they know WAI, but really don't know all the inf that we provide
  • Low: People doing presentations who might show the video

Related video and projects:

Scope:
Right now we have a small budget to edit the video material that we have. If we want to do something different with new filming, that would need to be done under a different project later.

Ideas & Options & Issues

  • Single video? Or 30-second clips we can tweet out? Or both?
  • How long should it be? (e.g., 1-10 minutes)
    • Pro for short: many people have short attention spans
    • Pro for longer: can cover more. could integrate video clips of people wanting information, which would make it more engaging
    • Maybe both short and long version?
  • Where would it live? On the WAI home page?


Existing Video Material

What's easily change-able and not

We have ad-hoc footage that we can use. We cannot do different video footage with current budget. (Maybe we could do different footage as a separate project later.)

  • Visuals — We can easily add or change visuals — e.g., screen captures, title text, highlighting, etc.
  • Cut content — We can cut content — easily when not showing Shawn, yet not smoothly in the middle of Shawn-talking-head (unless show other visual).
  • Audio additions — We can add some audio. At the beginning or ending, would probably be OK. In the middle, it probably wouldn't be smooth (different recording set up).
  • Talking-head — We cannot change the Shawn-talking-head video parts, without significant additional cost. There is another take, so if we really want to take the time, we can see if a segment is better in the other take.

Ideas for Changes

  • [high] Tweak Focus (shawn)
    Better communicate up front: WAI has lots of resources. Re-focus video on breadth of resources, rather than organization of website. Ideas:
    • Start with "random" list of resources.
    • Start with "random" videos of people searching for information. (Shawn has some unprofessional videos of people looking for information, such as: "I need to convince my boss to give me time to make my web app accessible." listed below.)
  • [minor] delete repeated URI ", that's w3.org slash W-A-I" (shawn)

Rough Script

Open action items to make the table below easier for EOWG discussion:

  • combine several of the cells — that is, put text from multiple cells that are related into one cell
  • quick pass at visuals - listing the web pages shown
  • add sequence numbers

hi this is Shawn from the w3c web accessibility initiative or WAI.
I'm here to tell you about some free resources from our website there at w3.org slash W-A-I, that's w3.org slash W-A-I
so let me show you some of the things we have on the website

[Shawn headshot]
 

the first section is accessibility fundamentals.
and from there you get an introduction to accessibility.

 Introduction to Web Accessibility
 

there's some really important information on this section

 
 

like how people with disabilities use the web.

 
 

the perspectives videos is a series of ten really short videos like about a minute or less that show you how accessibility is essential for some and useful for all.

 
 

so they illustrate the benefits of accessibility in addition to making your products work better for

 
 

people with disabilities.

 
 

okay oh another thing that's here is the video introduction this is a really short like four minute long video that introduces accessibility in the standards

 
 

and it's available in many different languages as well

 
 

so I encourage you to share this with people who don't know much about accessibility to to help them get started

 
 

all right the next section is planning and policies and this is really geared towards managing project managing organizational managing talks about policies talks about accessibility statements.

 
 

my personal favorite section is on involving users for better accessibility. it tells you when you include real people with disabilities in your design process the benefits that you can reap from that and give you some guidance some tips on doing that

 
 

alright the next section is designed and develop.

 
 

that has tips for getting started for designers developers and writers.

 
 

it has a resource for making your audio and video accessible.

 
 

and then there are tutorials on specific topic like menus tables forms etc

 
 

the next section is test and evaluate gives you a lot of different resources to help you figure out if your digital content and tools are accessible so

 
 

there's a resource called easy checks that helps anybody get some initial ideas on the accessibility of web tools without you don't even have to have any experience all the way…

 
 

way to resources to help you with formal conformance evaluation to make sure that you are meeting the standards fully

 
 

there's a list of evaluation tools that you can use to help with your evaluation

 
 

ok next section is teach and advocate.

 
 

that gives you some information if you want to teach others about accessibility and

 
 

it also includes the business case for accessibility

 
 

then a final section is standards that covers has the guidelines you're probably familiar with and then

 
 

other accessibility standards from w3c.

 
 

ok a couple of things I want to show you from the way homepage

 
 

once you're familiar with this if you want to hide that intro section you can do that

 
 

and right under there there's a section called get resources for and that provides links for specific roles so that might be something you would want to share with others

 
 

I'd like to encourage you to take a little time to play around the web the way website and

 
 

see what's there I hope you find information that you can use now and also you can find information for you to share with others

 
 

there's information different languages

 
 

there's tools to generate reports

 
 

there's videos

 
 

there's introductions

 
 

lots of other information available there

 
 

let's see a couple other things

 
 

you can get WAI news and information about our work by following the get news in email link so you can subscribe to our announcement email list

 
 

you can participate in a discussion list where you can ask questions

 
 

and that's available from the link in the footer

 
 

going back up to the top at the top of all pages is a link to all translations and that lists the pages information that we have in other languages right now

 
 

and also if you might want to be interested in helping with translating there's information right there

 
 

let's see one thing we'll go back down near the bottom of each page you'll find section on to help improve this page where you can provide your suggestions and comments you can submit those by email or github so we encourage your contribution participation in making this information better

 
 

all right thanks so much for taking this quick tour of the WAI website

 
 

we really hope you'll find this information useful that you'll share it with others

 
 

and that you'll use it to help us all make the web more accessible

 
 

which is essential for some people and useful for everybody

 
 

 

 

Misc Notes

Videos of people looking for information

Shawn has unprofessional videos of different people saying most of the statements below.
