Librarian Notes: Raving about WAVE 2021

Risk: 

Not using WAVE or some kind of accessibility checking can make your website vulnerable to law suits

Rewards:

• WAVE makes it easy to find and fix the easy stuff on your website
  • avoiding obvious violations that might prompt a lawsuit
  • such as no alternative text for screen readers on images
• Following principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) helps ALL your students have better access to your content

I use WAVE as a minimum standard for our library website and for vendor products.
I keep my notes on Universal Design for Learning (UDL) at https://library.fvtc.edu/UDL
