Alastair Campbell's TechShare Pro 2020 session updates attendees on WCAG 3.0 (then known as the Silver project) as W3C prepares its first public working draft. The talk explains goals for the next-generation guidelines, including clearer testing procedures, multiple conformance approaches, more frequent updates, tool and authoring guidance, and better coverage of user needs and emerging technologies. It outlines the draft structure of guidelines, outcomes, and methods, plus an early scoring and conformance model seeking public feedback.
Inclusive DesignInclusive design identifies who an experience excludes and involves people with different abilities and perspectives in shaping it. Start by examining assumptions and mismatches between a person and the product or environment. Work with people who experience those barriers, then explore solutions that address their needs and may benefit others. Use this approach throughout product and service development, including decisions about interaction, communication and participation. Revisit whose perspectives are missing as the design evolves.
