We interviewed the lovely @MollyWattTalks about her journey with #Ushers & using Assistive Tech axschat.com/molly-watt/ #AXSChat #a11y
Two excellent talks at @openmcr last night from @MollyWattTalks and @simonhurstux. About challenging how we think about accessibility from their experiences of #userresearch and the challenges we need to take into consideration for users #openmcr #accessibility #a11y #usability
Another great night @openmcr with @simonhurstux and @MollyWattTalks, thanks for sharing your personal tales of (not so) inclusive design beyond the screen, I got lots of great advice from you both 😊
Yesterday’s presentation at @openmcr was a variation on a theme, think #accessibility #usability #inclusion outside and beyond the web! Great platform for it :)
Parents who find it hard to get to events. What is your preffered time to attend one? Reply with other suggestions and RTs get 🤗
Two great talks by @MollyWattTalks and @simonhurstux at @openmcr tonight. Is accessibility an open door for personalisation? #openmcr #digital
@openmcr was the perfect platform to talk about #accessibility needs for all beyond the web
Two excellent sessions at @openmcr tonight from @MollyWattTalks and @simonhurstux good to hear the human point of view of accessibility #openmcr
It was a pleasure hosting you, Molly!
It was a pleasure hosting you, Molly!
Also, special thanks to @AutoTraderLife for providing the venue, support and refreshments.
Thanks to everyone for attending tonight’s event. Special thanks to @MollyWattTalks and @simonhurstux for two inspiring talks. It was great and I think we all agree we learnt a ton!
Always a great line up at @openmcr. Refreshing talks by @simonhurstux and @MollyWattTalks. “You are not your user and you cannot think like a user unless you're meeting users regularly.” #openmcr #digital #userresearch
Inspiring talk as usual from @MollyWattTalks. Love this quote 'ive just jumped the gun, you're all going to get there one day'. We're all going to have some access needs at some point @openmcr #inclusion #accessibility
