World Usability Day

From the newly designed Accessify.com, comes a great link to the upcom­ing Acces­si­bil­ity Chan­nel being held on Novem­ber 2nd and 3rd to cel­e­brate World Usabil­ity Day. There look to be some great ses­sions, includ­ing A Broader View of Web Acces­si­bil­ity and Usabil­ity and Acces­si­bil­ity: Twin Fos­ter Chil­dren. Unfor­tu­nately (and iron­i­cally), the page states, “you will be able to see and hear these pre­sen­ters on any Win­dows PC with a broad­band con­nec­tion.” Maybe they are assum­ing that PC users are the ones who need the most help in this area…

On a side note, I found this great list of usabil­ity demon­stra­tions at the IDEAL Group, Inc., one of the hosts of the Acces­si­biltiy Channel.
