The Accessible “Zoomversity”

By Kevin Gumienny  |  June 21, 2020  |    |   

Is your virtual training accessible? Many of us, by now, have mastered the art of virtual in-person training (sometimes known as “Zoomversity.”) But now we need to consider—is our virtual training accessible? Can it be used by people who have disabilities, such as those related to vision, hearing, mobility, or cognition? I recently presented on the idea that online training needs to be accessible—whether “live” virtual in-person training or training[…]

Takeaways from the 2020 CSUN Assistive Technology Conference

By Kevin Gumienny  |  March 19, 2020  |    |   

Last week I was at the CSUN Assistive Technology Conference, presenting a workshop (with Jennifer Chadwick of SiteImprove) on accessible elearning (the resources are available on Microassist’s website.) This year’s CSUN was somewhat lightly attended, due to cautions regarding COVID-19 (and I found I needed to leave earlier than expected). Still, even with the reduced number of sessions and the lighter attendance, the dedication that people have for ensuring that all experiences[…]

Moving Elearning Beyond Interactive to Accessible

By Kevin Gumienny  |  March 18, 2020  |    |   

I recently talked with a colleague about a recent workshop on accessible elearning that a few colleagues and I held at the CSUN Assistive Technology Conference. He said that it was rare that people think about accessibility (that is, ensuring that content is usable by those with disabilities) when creating online training. Sadly, he’s right, and that’s just wrong. Instructional designers are often focused on things other than accessibility when creating[…]

Accessibility Lessons from CSUN

By Kevin Gumienny  |  April 11, 2019  |    |  1

Three Key Accessibility Lessons This was my third year at CSUN, the premier conference on assistive technology. If you’re interested in accessibility, it’s the place to be. I presented (or was part of presenting) three sessions. (You can see more at my conference resource page.) This year there wasn’t a single big theme that I took away (like I did when I was thinking about making elearning accessible in 2017 and using pattern libraries[…]

Accessible Elearning Insights Gleaned from Dutch Municipality Website Audits

By Kevin Gumienny  |  February 4, 2019  |    |  1

What can training program managers learn from a study of Dutch government websites? Their website audits reveal five insights (at least) to consider when building accessible elearning. Accessible Elearning Insights Gleaned from Dutch Municipality Website Audits I just finished Eric Velleman’s 2018 dissertation, The Implementation of Web Accessibility Standards by Dutch Municipalities (discovered through Laura Carlson’s excellent weekly newsletter, Web Design Update). How does this relate to elearning, you might[…]
