What does WCAG stand for? - ANS-Web Content Accessibility Guidelines
What does ARIA stand for? - ANS-Accessible Rich Internet Applications
What does ATAG stand for? - ANS-Authoring Tool Accessibility Guidelines
What is the W3C? - ANS-The World Wide Web Consortium. The W3C is an internationally
recognized web standards body that identifies its approved technical specification standards as
"W3C Recommendations" (such as HTML, CSS, etc.). The consortium has several Accessibility
specifications that have achieved W3C Recommendation status, including WCAG, ATAG, and
WAI-ARIA.
What are the 4 WCAG principles? - ANS-Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, Robust
What does perceivable mean in WCAG? - ANS-Perceivability is about making the output of web
content available through multiple sensory modalities / Create content that can be presented in
different ways, including by assistive technologies, without losing meaning / Provide text
alternatives for non-text content / Provide captions and other alternatives for multimedia / Make
it easier for users to see and hear content.
What does operable mean in WCAG? - ANS-Operability is about making the input methods of
web content functionally available to a wide range of input devices, including mouse or
touchpad, keyboard, touchscreen, voice recognition software, other specialized input devices
(most of which emulate the keyboard or mouse) / Make all functionality available from a
keyboard / Give users enough time to read and use content / Do not use content that causes
seizures or physical reactions. Help users navigate and find content. / Make it easier to use
inputs other than a keyboard.
What does understandable mean in WCAG? - ANS-Understandability is about making content
and interfaces that people can comprehend. / Make text readable and understandable. / Make
content appear and operate in predictable ways. / Help users avoid and correct mistakes.
What does robust mean in WCAG? - ANS-Robustness is about ensuring compatibility with a
broad range of user agents, including assistive technologies. / Maximize compatibility with
current and future user tools
What are the WCAG guidelines? - ANS-Under the principles are guidelines. The 13 guidelines
provide the basic goals that authors should work toward in order to make content more
