A case study of the creation of momentum.stanford.edu, featuring:
Over the last year University Communications and its partners have been working to combine our two news website properties (news.stanford.edu and news.stanford.edu/report) into a robust content aggregation platform that delivers personalized, campus-wide news and storytelling to its end users. This session will walk through the research, process, challenges, and accomplishments that have got us where we are today. If time permits, we'll also look towards the future at our plans to evolve they system. Come hear all about it!
“We need to think about accessibility before we start any of our work, before we write any line of code, at every step of our development lifecycle. Shifting left means thinking about accessibility at the start of every step we take when we deploy new software or services.”
You have spent boatloads of time battening down the hatches and making sure your ship’s hull is impenetrable to pirates and stowaways...but, security measures and accessibility don’t always play nice, and you may be inadvertently sending some of your users down the plank. Captchas, timed logins, alert pop-ups, gated content, and modals are often used for security but not all assistive technology can get their users past the barriers
At Stanford, students, faculty, and staff rely on numerous applications and systems to get their work done. The usability of those systems directly impacts the experience that people have, and how effectively and efficiently they can complete their work. In this session, you will learn a basic understanding of system usability and how to spot usability issues.
Join us for a quick welcome session and get an overview of WebCamp.
Let's meet up at the picnic tables in front of The Treehouse behind Tressider.
Please join us for a (hopefully) lively conversation around design systems. What units have design systems? Are they integrated into design practices only, or also integrated into development workflows? What tools are being used (Figma, Storybook, Emulsify, others)? What lessons were learned and what useful tips can be shared?
Creating data tables for websites accessibly is a common challenge that we see across many websites. This session is focused on web developers will look at how to structure and build accessible data tables using a variety of techniques.
