section

Changed 24 September 2012

   - *Overview*
      - Amended the note at the bottom of the page to read:

      "Feel free to use this material as is or adapt it for your specific
      audience and goals, as long as you attribute it as described in
the "Creative
      Commons License (CC)" section of Using WAI
Material<http://www.w3.org/WAI/about/usingWAImaterial#cc>.


      We encourage you to share accessibility information. Understand your
      own level of knowledge (no one knows everything about accessibility), and
      be careful how you address sensitive topics. Be open with your audience
      about your background and level of expertise. If you get
questions that you
      are unsure about, it's fine to say that you don't know the
answer. That is
      a great opportunity to look for the answer on the WAI
website<http://www.w3.org/WAI/yourWAI>with your audience, or say that
you will find the answer later and ask the
      question on the WAI Interest Group mailing
list<http://www.w3.org/WAI/IG/#mailinglist>.

      *See also* How to Make Your Presentations Accessible to
All<http://www.w3.org/WAI/training/accessible.php>for guidance on
making your presentations and training accessible to people
      with disabilities and others in your audience."

      and success criteria from ATAG 2.0" - did link to:

      - Migrating to WCAG2
<http://www.w3.org/WAI/training/topics#migrate>section - first bullet
under "what this topic covers" revised from
      "Accessibility is fundamentally still the same - the basic goals of
      accessibility have not changed" to read "Acknowledgement that the basic
      goals of web accessibility have not changed"
      - WAI-ARIA <http://www.w3.org/WAI/training/topics#aria> section added
      bullet "Reminder that HTML 5 does not make WAI ARIA redundant"
      -  UAAG <http://www.w3.org/WAI/training/topics#browsers>/ATAG<http://www.w3.org/WAI/training/topics#authoring>topics
updated to recommend the version 2.0 stable drafts:
      "ATAG 2.0 is a mature draft and we expect that it will not change
      significantly. We recommend that you use the ATAG 2.0 draft in
most cases,
      understanding that it might change. (For more information on the
status of
      ATAG 2.0, see the ATAG Versions
section<http://www.w3.org/WAI/intro/atag.php#version>of the ATAG
Overview.)"

Changed 17 August 2012

   - *Topics*
      - Migrating to WCAG2
<http://www.w3.org/WAI/training/topics#migrate> section
      - first bullet under "what this topic covers" - "Accessibility is
      fundamentally still the same - the basic goals of accessibility have not
      changed" reworded to "Acknowledgement that the basic goals of web
      accessibility have not changed"
      - WAI-ARIA <http://www.w3.org/WAI/training/topics#aria> section -
      additional bullet: "Reminder that HTML 5 does not make WAI ARIA
redundant"
   - *Workshop*
      - Added cautionary note at start about experience of presenter:
      "These materials are meant to give structure to your own
      accessibility knowledge and help you to teach others. They are
meant to be
      used freely, with acknowledgement of the source. You may adapt them as
      needed. If you are the "accidental accessibility expert" and are new to
      accessibility yourself, however, you are wise to prepare.

      It is important and valuable to your colleagues and communities to
      share accessibility information. Understand your own level of
knowledge and
      remember that no one knows everything about accessibility. While you will
      certainly want to become very familiar with the materials you are
      presenting, you are likely to have certain areas where your expertise is
      stronger than others. If you are unsure of some concepts or
techniques, you
      may want to seek support on the WAI Interest Group list or one
of the other
      related community groups. Be very open with your audience about your
      background and level of expertise. You are sure to get questions and
      requests for more information as you present these materials and
it is fine
      to admit when you don't know the answer. In fact, a question that you do
      NOT know the answer to is often a great opportunity to explore additional
      WAI Resources with your audience."
      {wording needs to be confirmed after 17 Aug EO meeting discusses}

      - Important
Notes<http://www.w3.org/WAI/training/workshop-outlines#notes> section
      under 'additional notes for presenters':
      - add an additional bullet: "Draw illustrative examples from sites
         and material that are relevant to the participants backgrounds, e.g.
         government, commerce, etc."
         - expand second bullet with "Seek feedback at the end of each day
         and adjust remaining material as appropriate."
