hi.
well.
i am building a complex blindness related site.
and now doing this via http://wsi.tafensw.edu.au
and now, there is a accessible drawing tool called svg draw 01
from dick baldwin.
he is a computer science professor at washington state university.
so, how to use this tool.
to layout my page elements, links, buttons, frames, headings, etc.
using jaws.
and then how to visualise all the coordinates.
able to create lines, shapes, etc, via a wizard.
this is a java based application.
and it works, well without using the java access bridge.
so, any ideas, trick, tips, how to get this done.
as part of the design process.
and also, another question.
which colours work best for low vision users, and as i am totally
blind, but did have sight when i was younger, so which colours, look
the best, and also how to visually line out the pages, for this design
process.
if any one has got any ideas.
for accessibility, let me know.
marvin.
Well the visualization part might be a bit difficult given you're lack
of vision.
That said, the story board tool might be able to help a bit with that,
but I have never used it so can't say for sure.
I have a bit of an advantage in that I have low vision so I can see
colours and the like, probably a stupid question but just in case i'll
ask it anyway.
Do you're tutors know that you have a vision impairment and have you
spoken to the disability officer or whatever job title they have at the
tafe? As they will probably be able to give you a bit more direct
assistance particularly with the OLS Online Learning System issues that
you were describing the other day.
It is just that if they are marking you on the visuals and they don't
know of you're situation they will give you a crap mark and i'm not sure
what the policy would be with allowing other people to work on the
project, some institutions won't allow it if the project is meant to be
individual.
Oh and some people in education can still be harsh markers even if they
do understand you're situation.
