Time: 11:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. Eastern (UTC – 4 hours)
Length: 1.5 hours
Speakers: Terrill Thompson, Technology Accessibility Specialist, University of Washington; Ken Petri, Director, Web Accessibility Center, The Ohio State University

Overview: HTML5 opens up new opportunities for development of accessible media players. Accessible players include standard HTML buttons and controls; support for captions, subtitles, audio description, interactive transcripts, chapters, sign language, adjustable playback rates, and much more. This session will examine the features of accessible media players, from two perspectives: How to choose an accessible media player; and how to build an accessible media player. Able Player, a free open-source media player developed by the speaker, will be used as an example.

Objectives:

  • Participants will be able to describe at least 3 accessibility features that are built into the HTML5 specification

  • Participants will be able to explain the requirements of WCAG 2.0 related to media players.

  • Participants will be able to refer to the W3C Media Accessibility User Requirements for additional considerations
