We can all make digital information accessible

Picture
In the WAMDIA project we have designed a training material for all ICT users (not only professionals) on how to make digital information accessible to all. The project is now about to close - but the results will do good for a longer period of time. 
If you would like to have an idea what Digital Accessibility means - check this video:

As a summary of the project partners concluded that all objectives have been met and that WAMDIA now is ready to launch the tools and material to a broader audience.
Since the EU Regulation on accessibility step by step is implemented and the requirements for accessible digital information no longer is an option but a must - it is very clear that there are many individuals who have to get new skills in order to be able to produce accessible digital information.

Digital Accessibility - benefits for all of us

The EU regulation and national laws in Europe forces all public organizations to present digital information in an accessible way. This goes for both new material and next year also for earlier published material. It is not required for private organizations and individuals to produce their digital information in an accessible mode - but - there are several opportunities and benefits if even small businesses learns how to do it.

  • Information will be more available also to individuals with no special needs
  • Being a part of the digital citizenship will be an advantage

In Sweden WAMDIA Pilot course was launched 5th of June 2019 and officially ended in 31st of August 2019. With 55 individuals signed up for the pilot training  and 34 managing to get the diplomas we are very happy for the result achieved and also for the feedback given by learners. 

The Multiplier Event took place in Gävle, Sweden, on the 23d of August 2019 and gathered 30 participants to a seminar and discussion with focus on Accessibility to Digital Information. Among speakers we could listen to and discuss with Per Rosqvist and Christina ¨Kina¨ Edin.
Per, blind from birth, experienced in testing websites and social media posts gave some very useful tips on how to plan and maintain digital information in order to make it more accessible. 
Kina, specialized in Universal Design, gave all participants some aha-moments in the change of mindset to always think in terms of accessibility for all either in the digital world or the real world.

The Project WAMDIA (We All Make Digital Information Accessible)  with focus on promoting digital accessibility in Europe, also supporting the implementation of the directive 2016/2002. After an analysis of the situation in the participating countries (Spain, Italy, Hungary, Ireland and Sweden), we now need to know how the main target groups (namely non-ICT VET teachers and managers, public employees and managers and SME employees and managers) perceive the topic of the implementation of digital accessibility in their daily activities.

WAMDIA - We all make Digital Information accessible

11/29/2017

1 Comment

 
Digital accessibility in Europe is now the spotlight after the approval in 2016 of the New EU directive 2016/2102.
Traditionally, ICT users think that digital accessibility is only a task for ICT professionals when designing and implementing websites and mobile apps. They also think this is something for very specific people with disability.
Picture


WAMDIA wants to change the mindset of traditional ICT users: everybody can contribute to accessibility of digital information by ensuring that common files that one can create are accessible: word processor, presentations or PDF files are example. Even more, the importance is better perceived when considering that the best accessible website is useless if only a single uploaded file is not accessible.
WAMDIA will enable that general ICT users make digital information accessible.
