Description: Web accessibility refers to the inclusive practice of making websites usable by people of all abilities and disabilities. Verify a Drupal 8 issue(eg. with http://simplytest.me/project/drupal/8.x ) that "needs accessibility review". Use this research to create a simple webcast describing what web accessibility is and how to test a website for accessibility issues using a screen reader or a tool such as the WAVE toolbar: http://wave.webaim.org/ .

 

Deliverables: Reproduce an accessibility issue in Drupal 8 core. Comment on the issue on drupal.org to document steps to reproduce the reported issue. Create a webcast explaining what web accessibility is and how to do a website accessibility audit.
