Dan Keck<p>Thanks to Rose Peruski<br>and Nikki Volpenhein from Kroger, a USA supermarket chain, for discussing training at <a href="https://a11y.social/tags/CSUNATC2023" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CSUNATC2023</span></a>. </p><p>They described setting up 15 minute "Snack Talks" to deliver focused training to designers at Kroger. These fun sessions complement more formal training courses, and can be a benefit for folks who learn in different ways.</p><p>One session they had everyone write <a href="https://a11y.social/tags/AltText" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AltText</span></a> for the same image, then compare to see what each person found important.</p><p><a href="https://www.csun.edu/cod/conference/sessions/index.php/public/presentations/view/1419" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">csun.edu/cod/conference/sessio</span><span class="invisible">ns/index.php/public/presentations/view/1419</span></a></p><p><a href="https://a11y.social/tags/a11y" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>a11y</span></a></p>

Dan Keck<p>Computers used to be so easy. The screen would give you a menu of options; you picked one using the keyboard. But then graphical interfaces came along and made things more complicated, especially for screen reader users.</p><p>What if any modern e-commerce website could be accessed using a simple menu interface? This is the dream of researcher David Cane.</p><p>Read the <span class="h-card"><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@NVAccess" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>NVAccess</span></a></span> team's writeup of this intriguing session at <a href="https://a11y.social/tags/CSUNATC2023" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CSUNATC2023</span></a>: <a href="https://www.nvaccess.org/post/in-process-24th-march-2023#tab" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">nvaccess.org/post/in-process-2</span><span class="invisible">4th-march-2023#tab</span></a></p><p><a href="https://a11y.social/tags/a11y" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>a11y</span></a> <a href="https://a11y.social/tags/AssistiveTechnology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AssistiveTechnology</span></a><br><a href="https://a11y.social/tags/UserInterfaces" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UserInterfaces</span></a></p>
Dan Keck<p>At his presentation on ARIA at CSUN, Mark Steadman of Fidelity Investments mentioned that he's seeing an increase in websites using a <div> tag with the ContentEditable attribute, when an <input> or <TextArea> tag would do.</p><p><a href="https://a11y.social/tags/HTML" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HTML</span></a> <a href="https://a11y.social/tags/SemanticHTML" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SemanticHTML</span></a> <a href="https://a11y.social/tags/a11y" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>a11y</span></a> <a href="https://a11y.social/tags/CSUNATC2023" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CSUNATC2023</span></a></p>
