Listen to a web page in audio
Thursday, September 25th, 2008Due: 30 September before class.
Next class our guest speaker is going to be a Carolina student who is visually impaired. She will talk to us about the technology she uses to do her work. In preparation for her visit I want you to listen to two audio clips that illustrate how web pages sound to blind people.
As you listen to these clips, try to answer the question: What chemical components of chocolate affect the way we feel? Listen all the way through both. It will hurt, but imagine this is the only way you can use the web.
This first clip is of a typical, poorly designed web page: Inaccessible web page (3 minutes)
This second clip is of a page with much more accessible design: Accessible web page (4 minutes)
