Dear all, We were discussing the following changes in the TF yesterday. Please review them and provide wording suggestions if you have them by Friday EOB. --- 1. Module 3: Forms https://content-author-modules--wai-curricula.netlify.app/curricula/content-author-modules/forms/ 1.1 Addresses use of placeholders as labels from a content authors perspective * Topic Labels, teaching ideas, first bullet -- Added bit for authors to avoid the use of placeholder text and to have labels persistently visible on the page. "... Explain that several groups of users require labels that are persistently visible on the page. Content authors should avoid the use of placeholder text that disappears when the user gets to the form field or control. Show how successful form interaction becomes difficult or impossible when labels are not accessible". 1.2 Avoids potential inconsistencies when specifying different roles responsibilities, * Topic Labels, intro, second paragraph -- Changed to: "Authoring tools may or may not produce accessible labels. When the latter occurs, different team members, including content authors, designers, and developers, need to collaborate to specify the text and appearance of the label as well as to associate the label with its corresponding control". * Topic Instructions, intro, second paragraph -- Changed to: "Authoring tools may or may not produce accessible instructions. When the latter occurs, different team members, including content authors, designers, and developers, need to collaborate to specify the text and appearance of the instructions as well as to implement the instructions". * Topic Error Messages, intro, second paragraph -- Changed to: "Authoring tools may or may not produce accessible error messages. When the latter occurs, different team members, including content authors, designers, and developers, need to collaborate to specify the appearance of the error messages as well as to implement the error messages". --- 2. Module 5: Data Tables https://content-author-modules--wai-curricula.netlify.app/curricula/content-author-modules/data-tables/ * Learning outcomes, fifth bullet -- Reinforced message that layout tables should be avoided. Changed "collaborate with designers and developers to present multi-column content using CSS styles instead of layout tables" to "explain the accessibility considerations of using layout tables and avoid using layout tables when possible" --- Please provide your feedback by replying to this email or by creating a GitHub issue: https://github.com/w3c/wai-curricula/issues/new Thank you all very much for your very useful contributions. Best. -- Daniel Montalvo Accessibility Education and Training Specialist W3C/WAI
