As with many events, the organisers sought to enhance delegate experiences and communities using a mix of social networks and other Web 2.0 tools (a Ning social network, Micro-blogging with Twitter, online publishing with Scribd).\u00a0 It can be difficult to quickly assess the accessibility of such services and make decisions as to which service is most appropriate &#8211; or at least it was until JISC TechDis and Southampton University pulled together to create <a title=\"web 2 access\" href=\"http:\/\/www.web2access.org.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\">Web2Access<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Web 2 Access\" href=\"http:\/\/www.web2access.org.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\">Web2Access<\/a> is a great reference site for anyone wanting to make more informed decisions about applying web 2.0 tools in an accessible way.\u00a0 The resource allows you to search for information in different ways. You can search by activity (for example, collaborative writing or ) and Web2 Access will then give you a percent score on the success of those applications in accessibility terms. So at time of writing Twitter scores an overall 88% , Accessible Twitter scores 95%, Facebook 69%, Ning 72%.\u00a0 These ratings are subjecting and based on manual and automatic tests.\u00a0 If you follow links for each individual service, you can discover more detailed information about how each service scores for users with different disabilities.\u00a0 Alternatively you can browse by Disability or using the <a title=\"Web 2 Access Search\" href=\"http:\/\/www.web2access.org.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\">Search box<\/a> on the website front page.\u00a0\u00a0 There are also useful pages describing how the sites listed have been tested, answering <a title=\"FAQs\" href=\"http:\/\/www.web2access.org.uk\/faq\" target=\"_blank\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/a> and linking to <a title=\"e-learning resources\" href=\"http:\/\/www.web2access.org.uk\/resources\" target=\"_blank\">useful e-Learning resources<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If you are involved in organising teaching and learning and are wanting to make more use of Web 2.0 services in your e-learning activities, or if you are interested in how Web 2.0 can supplement your existing methods, or events in an accessible way, Web2Access provides a rule of thumb for most situations.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\r\n\t\t<!-- BEGIN ODIOGO LISTEN BUTTON v2.5.7 (WP) -->\r\n\t\t<script type=\"text\/javascript\" language=\"javascript\">\r\n\t\t<!--\r\n\t\t\/\/ ODIOGO_START:do_NOT_remove_this_comment\r\n\t\tshowOdiogoReadNowButton (\"687068\", \"Web 2.0 Accessibility\", \"506\", 290, 55);\r\n\t\t\/\/ -->\r\n\t\t<\/script>\r\n\t\t<br\/>\r\n\t\t<script type=\"text\/javascript\" language=\"javascript\">\r\n\t\t<!--\r\n\t\tshowInitialOdiogoReadNowFrame (\"687068\", \"506\", 290, 0);\r\n\t\t\/\/ ODIOGO_END:do_NOT_remove_this_comment\r\n\t\t\/\/ -->\r\n\t\t<\/script>\r\n\t\t<!-- END ODIOGO LISTEN BUTTON v2.5.7 (WP) -->\r\n\t\t\n<p>Last week I blogged about the InterFace Symposium in Southampton.
