See all- Make it Easy: Mini Workshop on Cognitive AccessibilityRed & Blue Oy, Helsinki
The WordPress Helsinki meetup group aims to bring together people of all skill levels, from beginners to WordPress professionals.
We'll briefly go over what accessibility and what it's legal requirements are in Finland. After that we dive into what cognitive accessibility means and how it can be evaluated and improved. Designers, developers and content producers would benefit most from this workshop. The material is not technical, and is suitable for anyone with an interest in the psychological aspects of user experience.
The workshop includes a task, during which a web service is evaluated in groups. The task can be completed on a mobile phone, tablet or laptop. Please bring your own device. You can select your own group based on which evaluation perspective interests you the most. The group task can also be done individually. After the task we’ll go over the task findings together, and explore further questions.
