Help for makeing useable content

Making content usable for people with cognitive and learning disabilities (Content Usable document).Last published version and Editor's working draft

This is for content providers who want to make content more usable for people with cognitive and learning disabilities. It includes content about:

1. people with learning and cognitive disabilities,
2. including users in design and testing activities,
3. aims and objectives for useable content,
4. design patterns (ways) to make content usable, and
5. personas (examples) and user needs.

You can also read through Testable Statements for Each Pattern.

You can also look at our [success criteria proposals for WCAG] (or see https://rawgit.com/w3c/coga/master/extension/status.html for our own list). They are based on our [table of user needs ]. These go though different user needs and how to support them.

We also have a page on user need resources to help people understand the user

Background Research Documents

This is background level research about the issues and challenges. It is useful for reaserchers, policy makers and people wanting more information:

• Research doc contains: Research by disability (latest draft: https://w3c.github.io/coga/user-research/)
• Issue papers (docs) on topics such as security, safety and how they are affected by cognitive disabilities. (Works in progress are also at https://github.com/w3c/coga/tree/master/issue-papers and https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4919553/)

We have also used the research from Research sources

Gap analysis

This is for W3C groups and standard makers looking to understand where the issues lay and how technology could help.

See road map and gap analysis, (doc). It contains:

• Summary of issues
• Summary of techniques
• Roadmap - Tables of user needs and how tech and standards could help
• We may add challenges from the research module above.
