April 5th

This week, due to my spring break, I chose a shorter training to complete this month. I chose a digital accessibility training that can be used for apps like WordPress. The course helped me with my ARIA and HTML abilities. The training was helpful in practice for creating documents, color contrast, and typography. In typography, it was helpful to learn why some common fonts are difficult for some to read and to understand the website I am creating. Another typography tip was to check letter pairs and unique letter characteristics, like using ā€œIā€ as a ā€œ1ā€ in some cases, as this could cause confusion for some. I hope to apply the skills I gained from last year’s accessibility training to build a better website and app next semester.
