  1. Dichotomy of Accessibility and Dynamism. Frank Gasking

  2. Accessibility • Less experienced users. • People with poor access technology. • Narrowband connections. • Browser compatibility. • Ability to run Flash or Active X components. • People with low technology (small processor, RAM). • Disabilities. • Cognitive reading impairments (dyslexia, young age reading). • Physical disabilities (speed to perform tasks). • Visual impairments.

  3. Dynamism • Use of new technologies. • Can create visually/mentally stimulating web experience. • More and more technologies emerging. • Flash animation and interactions. • JavaScript forms (e.g. questionnaires). • Animated GIF images. • Embedded Java. • Other plug ins. • Could be used incorrectly and for wrong reasons. • Web navigation done completely in Flash (why?).

  4. Resolving the issue • Dynamism adds ability to convey complex ideas. • Use of animation and interaction in web pages. • But dynamism can reduce accessibility. • Should only use dynamic content when significant. • To add to the experience for the majority of users. • Should provide accessible equivalents. • Where a user cannot access dynamic material. • e.g. descriptions for features which cannot be seen. • W3C – Accessibility Guidelines. • Based on four accessibility guideline principles. • Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, Robust. • “A/AA/AAA” grading scheme for accessible sites.
