  1. Thanks to Rose Peruski
    and Nikki Volpenhein from Kroger, a USA supermarket chain, for discussing training at #CSUNATC2023.

    They described setting up 15 minute "Snack Talks" to deliver focused training to designers at Kroger. These fun sessions complement more formal training courses, and can be a benefit for folks who learn in different ways.

    One session they had everyone write #AltText for the same image, then compare to see what each person found important.

  2. Computers used to be so easy. The screen would give you a menu of options; you picked one using the keyboard. But then graphical interfaces came along and made things more complicated, especially for screen reader users.

    What if any modern e-commerce website could be accessed using a simple menu interface? This is the dream of researcher David Cane.

  3. At his presentation on ARIA at CSUN, Mark Steadman of Fidelity Investments mentioned that he's seeing an increase in websites using a <div> tag with the ContentEditable attribute, when an <input> or <TextArea> tag would do.
