Quality ( Control)

Dear Alexander

Webadmin are combing through all new content that’s contributed to the Framework website, as part of quality assurance for web accessibility guidelines we have to adhere to.  The types of things we are checking are alternative text, whether or not links directing to other pages or documents are opening in the same window or new windows and spelling and grammar.

We have noted that the page created by Alexander Hayes on 23 February 2010 titled De-activating Alpha Trials has the following issues that need fixing:

• Image at the top of the page

o   Alternative text to be added in the Image Properties

o   Link target should be a new window as the image is linking to an image outside the Framework website

• number of Framework staff

o   Target should be same window as it is linking to a page on the Framework website

o   Advisory title/alternative text needs to be added

Webadmin have made these changes for you.  We are currently creating Tips and Hints which will provide information on how to make your content more accessible.  You will be able to find these in the Webadmin group in the near future.

Kind Regards

Alls well…..

…….that ends well and by the sounds of it at least 8 out of 10 things were covered in the Learning In The 21st Century gig hosted by education.au in Adelaide today.

Many thanks to all who attended both physically, virtually or in spirit.

Mike Seyfrang has preliminary thoughts and I’m sure Michael Coghlan and Graham Wegner will add their piece later.

Graham passed on some links also – http://www.groups.edna.edu.au/course/view.php?id=1843
