This presentation was recorded at GOTO Chicago 2020. #GOTOcon #GOTOchgo http://gotochgo.com Ayesha Mazumdar - Senior UX Engineer at Optimizely ORIGINAL TALK TITLE From Zero to A11Y: Building an Accessibility Culture at Optimizely ABSTRACT It can be a daunting task to begin building a culture of accessibility, but there’s no time like the present to get started. The question is— what to do first? In this session, we’ll cover the incremental changes we’re making at Optimizely to ensure accessibility and inclusive design are an integral part of our processes, from product planning to QA and everything in between. How can a group of Accessibility Champions help disseminate knowledge throughout your engineering org? How do you revamp an existing application to become accessible? Attendees will leave with a framework and concrete examples to bring back to their organizations in order to shape their own accessibility [...] TIMECODES 00:00 Intro 01:54 Agenda 02:05 What we've done 02:55 Present all the things 04:28 Disperse the knowledge 06:19 Trust the tools 08:55 Foolproof the future 09:40 Recognize the effort 11:18 TL;DR 12:38 Result No. 1 13:40 Result No. 2 14:14 Result No. 3 14:56 Result No. 4 16:09 What we've created 17:23 Timeline 19:25 Outro Download slides and read the full abstract here: https://gotochgo.com/2020/sessions/1416/from-zero-to-a11y-building-an-accessibility-culture-at-optimizely https://twitter.com/GOTOcon https://www.linkedin.com/company/goto- https://www.facebook.com/GOTOConferences #UX #InclusiveDesign #AccessibilityCulture #Accessibility #Inclusivity #HumanFactor #Diversity Looking for a unique learning experience?
