No meeting August 4

Hello all,

 

There will be no WAI Curricula Task Force meeting for Tuesday August 4. Instead, I encourage you to go through the questions I sent
the  other day and provide comments. I will paste them in this email for convenience. Those questions will help me shape the coming
modules for these curricula.

 

Module 3: Images and Graphics

 

Old version

https://wai-curricula.netlify.app/curricula/developing-accessible-content/images-and-graphics/

 

New proposal 

https://deploy-preview-238--wai-curricula.netlify.app/curricula/developing-accessible-content/images-and-graphics/

 

In module 3, we propose to move functional images to its own topic. Now that we start to separate the different types of images, it
has come to mind that there are different use cases for simple, complex, or functional images of text. Should they have its own
topic? Can we include them in any of the already available topics?

Module 6: Widgets

 

Old version

https://wai-curricula.netlify.app/curricula/developing-accessible-content/widgets/

 

New proposal -- will be updated in the coming days at

https://wai-curricula.netlify.app/curricula/developing-accessible-content/widgets/

 

Current first topic of module 6 is an introduction to WAI-ARIA. This may sound repetitive with respect to module 4 of the previous
curriculum which is already a prerequisite for this one.

What are your thoughts on introducing the idea of progressive enhancement to explain the different layers of a custom component
instead of introducing WAI-ARIA up-front? For those who teach these contents: do you introduce WAI-ARIA up-front or you try to
relate it with other developer skills/ If so, which ones you choose?

 

Thanks once again for your support and contributions.

 

Best.
