Reminder - Sakai Accessibility Working Group Meeting at 2pm Today!
Chris Knapp
Good morning,
In advance of our 2pm Sakai Accessibility Working Group meeting--I wanted to share the attached documents which we will be referencing at different points during our discussion…
Again, the purpose of today’s discussion is to provide an update on where we are at in the process to develop a plan for the Sakai 22 VPAT (Voluntary Product Accessibility Template) and give members of the Sakai community (you) an opportunity to review the draft plan, ask questions, and offer up any ideas or suggestions that you might have for how we can improve upon this draft plan.
You do not need to be a VPAT or accessibility expert to contribute to this discussion—all perspectives are welcome.
Our goal is two-fold—1) to ensure that we are better prepared to author the Sakai 22 VPAT and subsequent VPATs for future releases of Sakai, and 2) to align and combine these efforts with other work already being performed, to create a cohesive accessibility strategy moving forward.
We are going to try and avoid getting too far into the weeds during this afternoon’s discussion, and will instead focus on certain key activities or phases that will need to constitute our VPAT plan—things like:
- Information Gathering/Preliminary Planning
- Capacity Building
- Data Analysis/Resource Allocation
- User Testing
- Development/Remediation
- Assessment/Continued Monitoring
Please feel free to join us at 2pm today (Zoom meeting information is provided below)—or if you are not able to make today’s meeting, you can email your questions/comments to me at: ch...@knappstrategic.com
Thanks,
