Project scope
- What is the main goal for this project?
-
Our company advertises thousands of products online. The main problem we are trying to solve is to garner more user feedback on our interface’s accessibility.
We would like to collaborate with students to conduct accessibility tests on our website with pre-identified customers.
This will involve several different steps for the students, including:
- Conducting background research on disabilities and methods of evaluating accessibility.
- Reaching out to customers and scheduling interviews.
- Familiarizing themselves with the test tasks that should be administered.
- Conducting accessibility tests remotely and following up with customers to thank them for their participation.
- Analyzing and reporting the metrics / results of the tests.
Bonus steps in the process would also include:
- Recommending website improvements based on findings.
- What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?
-
By the end of the project, students should demonstrate:
- Understanding of different disabilities and factors that affect a website’s accessibility
- Understanding of our accessibility testing procedure
- Analysis of accessibility testing results
Bonus steps would include:
- Recommending improvements for our website
Final deliverables should include:
- A final report.
- A 10-minute presentation.

As the founder and CEO of Unique Get Together Society (UGTS) and a woman of Cree descent, I bring 20 years’ experience working in social services. With a track record of getting things done, I’ve spent time working in group homes, women’s shelters, detox centers, foster homes and recently, I have had success working with children who live with autism.
“As a mother of six, I am no stranger to the demands of raising a family (at the best of times) and I know first-hand how difficult that can be without any support.”
My goal is to offer our services and support to any child regardless of their ability and personal care.
We provide a wide range of programs year round designed to strengthen each individual child and enhance their overall physical, mental, social emotional development. We assist families through other services such as nutritional health, family support, advocacy and subsidies
