Material Detail

I am always looking for more materials to share with faculty and staff on designing with accessibility in mind. The parts I found particularly useful were the printable guides and the FAQ section which was very information without overwhelming the reader. However, I do not see myself sharing the entire material. The navigation was initially a barrier for me. There are two links with the same text for each resource. There is no title text for the links explaining the differences, only a visual difference. In order to identify what the eyeglass and down arrow icons meant, I had to click on the links. While it may be intuitive for some that the down arrow means printable materials, it can cause confusion and frustration for other users. I appreciated having both options available, and a sentence or key above the links would be very helpful! The other reason is because the MS Suite directions are specific for Windows users and a specific version of MS Word. It's important to note in these guides that not all versions of the MS Suite fully support accessibility, and that the steps may be slightly different for Mac users. I imagine their institution only uses one version of the suite so they don't need to identify the differences, but it does limit the audience. Our population primarily uses Apple products but we support both and this is something I look for in materials.
