0. Work on your final project

You should work to meet the goals you set out in your Project Checkpoint. Make sure to leave sufficient time for validation and writing up your project.

1. Create Slides And Present Them

You will submit, and present slides in-class. Presentation time will be decided based on group formation and number of projects and discussed in class. Please ensure that your submitted slides are accessible and that you are making best-effort to present accessibly while staying on-time. Your slides should include the following. Note that update are slides you have presented before and new are new content.

1. update What (at a high level) did will you do?
2. update What is your evidence for why this is needed? Includes your first person evidence and your disability justice analysis.
3. update Why don’t we have this already? To answer this you will need to look at what we do have and explain why your idea isn’t already solved
4. update Provide technical details. How did will you achieve your goals? What software/platforms did will you use? What did will you do yourself?
5. new Show us a demo!
6. update How did will you validate your idea and what were the results
7. new What are some things you learned from this effort? Why is this feasible (timeline, etc)

2. Create a web page

You will make a (minimum W3C Level A) accessible, public-facing web page as part of the class site by providing us with kramdown markdown. You can test accessibility using the kramdown markdown editor.

Be sure to follow the writing guidelines put out by SIGACCESS for writing about disability

Your page should contain the following:

• Text describing:
  • Introduction– ~3 paragraphs (about 750 words): Present the promise/ obstacle/ solution for your project— What is the problem you are solving and why is it important to solve it?
  • Positive Disability Principals ~3-5 paragraphs: Address the questions in this competency
  • Related Work– ~3 paragraphs: Talk about relevant work that closely connects with your project.
  • Methodology and Results– ~6 paragraphs : What did you do in your project- what did you design or implement? What were your metrics for success, and how did you validate? This should include at least one picture of your project, with alt text.
  • Disability Model Analysis ~3 paragraphs (one per principal)
  • Learnings and future work ~1-2 paragraphs (about 400 words): Describe what you learned and how this can be extended/ built on in the future.

To demonstrate that your website is accessible, please include an accessibility check summary at a minimum using an automated tool to generate it.
