The topic I have chosen for my capstone project is Web Accessibility. The aim of Web Accessibility initiatives is to make websites and other digital media objects designed to remove barriers for people with disabilities or limitations. This aim is based on the core belief that Internet access and use of digital technology is a right, not a privilege, regardless of their ability.
My chosen media objects are an infographic and a remixed video. The infographic will focus on what the web accessibility initiative is and why it is important. The video will highlight how technology can be limiting, or how access can be made improved, for those with auditory, cognitive, neurological, physical, and visual disabilities.
The intent of these media objects is to inform and raise awareness for social inclusion regarding digital technology. They will also provide tips on how to implement web accessible design guidelines set by the World Wide Web Consortium.
The integration of web accessibility features promotes equal service and social inclusion.
