Good morning,
Just wanted to share the most up-to-date version of our “Sakai 22 Accessibility Regression Test Script” that incorporates the latest round of user testing completed during the month of March…
Also, I thought I would pass along the following information about the 2022 University of Guelph Virtual Accessibility Conference in case anyone from the Sakai community is interested in participating this year.
Shawn and I attended last year’s event, which we summarized in a 4-part conference re-cap on my “Tales of the Reluctant Blind” blog which you can check out using the below links:

Even if you decide not to attend the University of Guelph Virtual Accessibility Conference, or your institution doesn’t currently have the budget to sign folks up, or whatever, we thought you might at least want to review these conference
re-caps to broaden your knowledge/understanding about digital accessibility.
Anyways, just thought this is something that might interest some of you who have been assisting with our ongoing accessibility efforts for Sakai.
Thanks,
