A tool to support the web accessibility evaluation process for novices

Elaine Pearson, Chrstopher Bailey, Steve Green

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

The Accessibility Evaluation Assistant (AEA) is designed to assist novice auditors in the process of an accessibility evaluation of websites. The tool has been incorporated into an undergraduate computing module in Accessibility and Adaptive Technologies. It takes a structured walkthrough approach to guide the novice through a series of checks for established web accessibility principles with the goal of conducting a comprehensive accessibility evaluation. An initial evaluation of the AEA with 38 students confirms its potential for supporting the development of skills in auditing of websites for accessibility.
