In this episode, John James Jacoby and I are joined by Rachel Cherry, Senior Software Engineer for Disney Interactive and Director of WPCampus. Cherry describes how she got involved with WordPress, its use in higher education, the inspiration behind WPCampus, and her thoughts on accessibility both in WordPress and across the web. She also assigned everyone the following homework assignment.
Per my interview on #WordPress Weekly, I’ve assigned everyone #accessibility homework: open your website and navigate using ONLY THE KEYBOARD. Can you access all content and functionality? Can you open AND close popups? Let me know what you learned.
