Week 6 Accessibility Review Questions

Question 1

What are three types of software -- besides "HTML editors" -- which might produce output for use on the web?

  1. Text Editors - Text Based Editors
  2. Converters - Converts proprietary document formats to HTML
  3. Programming Environments - Generates HTML along with program code

Question 2

What are three features that a Web editor program (WYSIWYG or tag-level) could have that makes the resulting content more accessible to people with disabilities?

  1. ALT Text or Descriptive Text aid for images
  2. Built in HTML code Validator
  3. Accessibility prompts for elements which have a higher incidence of accessibility abuse, such as TABLE, BGSOUND, FRAMESET, MARQUEE and BLINK

Question 3

How important is it for people with disabilities to be able to use web authoring tools? What happens if they can't?

Anybody should be able to access information on the Web as well as actually creating that information. If the disabled cannot access it or create it, then an important segment of our population is being deprived of a growing form of communication.
