WebAIM:

The following message was recently distributed to the WAI-IG list. I
thought some here would find it valuable.

To: WAI Interest Group < <EMAIL REMOVED> >
From: Shawn Henry <


Dear WAI Interest Group Participants,

The W3C WAI Education and Outreach Working Group (EOWG) invites you
to comment on:
Before and After Demonstration (BAD)
http://www.w3.org/WAI/demos/bad/

BAD shows an inaccessible website and a retrofitted version of the
same website with the accessibility barriers fixed. BAD has in-line
notes ("annotations")
for you to get more information. It also includes evaluation reports
that list the accessibility problems for each page.

BAD is useful for presentations, for learning about specific web
accessibility barriers and their implications, and as an example of
conformance evaluation
reports.

We would like to know how this updated WAI resource works for you and
how we can improve it. (Adding video, scripting, and WAI-ARIA are
already on the list
of enhancements that we would like to implement in BAD.) Please send
comments to the publicly-archived list:

Background: BAD was first developed with support of the EC-funded
WAI-TIES Project. It was updated for Web Content Accessibility
Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 and
to better cover accessibility issues of older users as part of the
EC-funded WAI-AGE Project. Information on these past projects is available at:
http://www.w3.org/WAI/TIES/

Please let us know if you have any questions. Thank you in advance
for your comments.

Feel free to circulate this message to other lists; please avoid
cross-postings where possible.
