Open to All? University Website Accessible Design across the U.S.

• In Event: D&D - Web 2.0

Short Description

This study utilizes web scraping and automated content analysis to evaluate basic Priority 1 (P1) web accessibility of all university websites in the U.S. Results indicate overall inaccessibility in key P1 factors and that some instances of inaccessibility reflect systemic disregard for basic requirements, while others may be isolated examples of oversight. Results should be used to inform the accessible design of institutional websites, thereby making them open and useable by all.
