The workshop will allow attendees to share practical tips and techniques for developing accessible Web sites with the Birmingham Usability Group.
The workshop has been organised as a result the inaugural meeting of the Birmingham Usability Group on 15th April 2004. The meeting led by John Knight, Usability Engineer at User-Lab, brought together practitioners involved in user-centred design from across the West Midlands. John Knight spoke of the need for a usability group in the West Midlands, and from this discussion fifteen delegates including IBM's usability group from Warwick have agreed to convene a Web Accessibility Workshop on 23rd June 2003.
"I have been aware of a growing number of practitioners working away in development teams and consultancies; with little connection to the usability community for quite some time. There is a lot going on in the West Midlands in mobile telephony, software and digital media and I hope that this group start can take the city of 1,000 trades to the forefront of the experience economy" explains, John Knight, Usability Engineer.
The web accessibility workshop will feature an overview of the legal aspects of web accessibility and a series of practical demonstrations of design and evaluation techniques.
