Remember that all able-bodied people are only temporarily so. Designing for accessibility improves websites for everyone- you never know when you’ll need it.

“Universal Design for Information Spaces” by Carrie Anton - Great talk with #accessibility issues demonstrated from the first hand. Make web accessibility your priority No.1! #WIADyeg #ia #productdesign

Another test: disable the CSS and see if everything still works. If things are missing or weird, that probably means it’ll be a bad experience for anyone using assistive tech.

Last speaker is Carrie Anton from Athabasca U. Accessibility and Universal Design has major overlap (in terms of what to consider) with IA: content, users, context. #WIADyeg

Thanks to @nform for hosting #WIADyeg - some of the great takeaways include: 1- context matters (a lot!) when you’re organizing things. (Via @isperano).

What I remember from both @micahslavens & @MarkMorrisBA: - mentioned IA and AI are different, though AI is the future of IA - IA is for connecting people (or with information/products) @WIADEdmonton @nform #WIAD18 #WIADyeg #InformationArchitecture #ArtificialIntelligence

Good IA can be summed up as: “a place for everything and everything in its place,” says @MarkMorrisBA #WIAD18 #WIADyeg
