Details

The main goal of this project is to ensure ODLAN is WCAG 2.0 compliant. This is part one of a two-part project. Part one involves reviewing, assessing, and providing feedback on ODLAN's platforms. After creating the WCAG 2.0 checklist, the student will identify any areas of improvement. Our social media pages, website, and primary educational resources will be a part of this review. Part two of this project will involve supporting our team with implementing the feedback and making changes to our platforms and educational materials to ensure they are accessible.

Deliverables

1. Develop the accessibility review checklist using WCAG 2.0 guidelines

Part 2 (Next Project)

1. Work collaboratively with the ODLAN team to incorporate key solutions identified in phase one.

2. Assist in updating and modifying social media posts, educational materials, and other public resources on our website to ensure they are accessible. This includes but is not limited to, infographics, short videos, and webinars.

ODLAN is a registered non-profit organization that aims to remove digital literacy and access barriers for 2SLGBTQIA+ community members. We are a community-based, volunteer-led organization that was founded by 2SLGBTQIA+ graduate students, community leaders, and allies who have first hand experience working with 2SLGBTQIA+ community members with limited access to the knowledge and hardware needed to participate in online spaces. Our vision is to empower service providers with the resources, tools, and knowledge to build digital strategies that use an intergenerational approach to remove access barriers to digital programs and related services.
