The session on web accessibility was really interesting and informative. I learned a lot about how people with disabilities navigate websites — especially the use of landmarks, screen readers, and other accessibility features. It was also great to discover which screen readers are commonly used and even try installing one ourselves.
That said, the workshop part could have been more interactive. Although the group was small, we didn’t get much hands-on practice with the tools or the screen reader itself. I also missed some discussion of regulatory aspects — though I arrived a little late, so it’s possible that part was covered earlier.
It would have been great to explore more practical exercises and tools that automatically check accessibility, as well as whether AI can assist in optimizing it. The session was scheduled for three hours but finished quite a bit earlier, so there was definitely time for a deeper dive.
Still, I really appreciate the effort and focus on such an important topic — accessibility deserves more attention, and this session helped raise awareness of its real-world impact.
Useful information. I would have liked to have seen more tools demoed.
Good presentation and information. More hands on examples of screen readers would have been welcomed.
The presentation was very informative with good practical examples to review and compare the good and bad design. I really enjoyed it, and learned a lot during this session, reg. what to pay attention to and what tools could be used. Thank you!
