POURing Over Your Website: An Introduction to Digital Accessibility | Ashleigh Lodge | TEDxWinnipeg

Описание: Digital accessibility - what it is and why it's important. Most sites/apps are awful as far as accessibility goes. It's not something that's taught, & even when there is some awareness, it's considered too hard and costly to implement. Ashleigh raises visibility about why it's important from both social & business perspectives, and provides information & tools for people to take back to their own projects use. Ashleigh Lodge is the Application Development Manager at Neovation Learning Solutions, which encompasses the development, UX and QA teams for multiple products. A graduate of the Computer/Analyst Programmer (CAP) program at Red River College, she has held various development and management roles in the tech industry for the past nine years.

In her free time, you can find Ashleigh either playing Pokémon Go, or consuming a truly frightening amount of pop culture media, including movies, TV shows, comic books, and novels (and usually both at the same time!) This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
