Kansainvälistä saavutettavuuspäivää (Global Accessibility Awareness Day, GAAD) vietetään helatorstaina 21.5. Saavutettavuuden auditoinnista keskusteltiin jo pari viikkoa sitten suunnittelijamme Hanna Kulmalan kanssa, ja seuraavassa keskiviikkowebinaarissamme pureudumme syvemmin saavutettavuuden liiketoimintahyötyihin asiakkuusvastaavamme Päivi Rucidlon kanssa. Saavutettavuutta ei kannata katsoa vain pakollisena pahana, joka pitää vain hoitaa kuntoon uuden lainsäädännön myötä – se on pikemminkin mahdollisuus luoda verkkopalveluita, jotka palvelevat meitä kaikkia paremmin. Saavutettavuus on käytettävyyttä, ja käytettävyys on parempaa palvelua, joka lisää asiakkaita, tyytyväisempiä käyttäjiä, positiivista brändimielikuvaa sekä yksinkertaisesti, parempaa bisnestä.
Event Type: Virtual Events

In the time of COVID-19, with remote working the new normal, training has proved remarkably adaptable, sometimes shifting to virtual environments, and sometimes building on existing learning management systems. Join us as we explore how to make online training available to everyone.
COVID-19 has given us several lessons to ponder, reflect and resonate on. Digital world is seeing unprecedented surge across all domains. Along with core application functionality, non-functional facets are gaining a lot of momentum, with organizations seeing adverse impact from lack of quality in these areas. Accessibility, an engineering attribute that remained confined for use by People with Disabilities (PwD), has also been gaining significant momentum.
The current global pandemic has changed the way most of us do business in rapid fashion. The necessity to move our operations online has created a steep learning curve for employees and customers alike. But for those of us who live with disabilities, this shift has presented both hurdles and opportunities for inclusion. This year’s event will address both the hurdles and opportunities and suggest ways your business might best address them.
Sheila Baillie and Kate Leavy are Disability Advisors within Student Services. Sheila and Kate will provide an overview of how the University supports students with disabilities throughout their studies.
UW commemorates GAAD by offering a full day of lectures, workshops, and other activities related to digital accessibility. All events are open to everyone in the UW Community. In 2020, many of the activities will be closely aligned with the IT Accessibility Challenge.
Let’s explore together how we can build accessible processes, environments and relationships.
