Browse SpaceAccessibility Review Protocols - Simple and Comprehensive
Accessibility can be evaluated through simple heuristics, or using a more detailed approach with assistive technologies and specific platforms.
Simple Accessibility Review Protocol
These are a simple set of heuristics for evaluating the general accessibility of a web application without need for complex assistive technologies or a lot of "under the covers" assessment of the HTML markup and so on. While this process is by no means a comprehensive method for identifying all accessibility problems, it provides a simple technique that anyone can learn while doing UX Walkthroughs. Additional information about accessibility can be found in the resources page.
Comprehensive Accessibility Review Protocol for PC
This is a PC-based protocol for more in-depth accessibility testing. It contains three accessibility test protocols for Fluid: Internet Explorer 7 with the AIS Toolbar Extension, the JAWS Screen Reader and the Web Accessibility Checker tool. A form for entering results and a completed form for reference are contained in Attachments.
Comprehensive Accessibility Review Protocol for Macintosh
This is Macintosh version of the PC-based protocol.
"Under the Covers" Review
The "under the covers" review can be paired with the Accessibility Reviews above for a comprehensive evaluation. You might need a developer to perform this portion of the evaluation.

Ron Owston and Bharat Sani from York University did a walkthrough following these procedures with Moodle. Our report is attached (click on Attachment tab above--I got a sys error when I tried to link to it from this page. Also I don't seem to have authority to delete duplicate attachment).
