Re: [wbs] response to 'WAI-Curricula: Draft Review for unit 4 "Standards and guidelines"'

Hello Hidde:


Thanks for this piece of feedback. Good catch!


According to your feedback (and several others'):


 > I wonder if we should use abbreviations of the standards (WCAG, ATAG, 
etc) as they may be wider known?


I think it is important to have the complete names of the standards up 
front. We might know them by their abbreviation but let's imagine a 
situation where somebody is reading this curriculum and does not know 
very much about accessibility. Looking for the meaning of the different 
abbreviations would be an extra effort I think we should not provoke.


You are right that it is good to use the abbreviation once the standards 
have been introduced. In the live draft this has been changed to include 
both the Abbreviations and the complete titles. The first time they are 
mentioned, I include both the abbreviation and the complete name:


 > ## Learning Outcomes

 >

 > * Define the scope of Web Content (WCAG), Authoring Tools (ATAG), 
User Agent (UAAG), and Accessible Rich Internet Application (WAI-ARIA) 
Guidelines and their relevance for accessibility


Subsequent mentions of the standards are made via the abbreviation:


 > ### Topic: Standards and Guidelines

 > #### Learning Outcomes
 > * List the current W3C accessibility standards: WCAG, ATAG, UAAG, and 
WAI-ARIA


Hope this is clearer (and cleaner) now.


Thanks again for the feedback.
