UX Accessibility and Inclusive Design 2

Question 1

What is ARIA in web accessibility?

Accepted Answer

Accessible Rich Internet Applications — attributes that enhance HTML semantics for assistive technologies

Answer

ARIA attributes supplement HTML to convey roles, states, and properties to screen readers when native HTML semantics are insufficient.

Question 2

Which ARIA attribute announces dynamic content changes to screen reader users?

Accepted Answer

aria-live

Answer

aria-live creates a 'live region' that causes screen readers to announce content updates automatically when they occur.

Question 3

What does 'focus management' mean in accessible interaction design?

Accepted Answer

Controlling where keyboard focus moves programmatically, especially in dynamic interfaces

Answer

Focus management ensures keyboard focus is moved logically—especially after modals open, content loads, or navigation changes—so keyboard users maintain orientation.

Question 4

What is a 'skip navigation' link and who benefits from it most?

Accepted Answer

A link at the top of a page that lets keyboard users jump past repetitive navigation to main content

Answer

Skip navigation links allow keyboard and screen reader users to bypass repetitive site navigation and jump directly to the main content area.

Question 5

What accessibility issue does 'color alone' usage violate?

Accepted Answer

The WCAG principle that information should not be conveyed by color alone

Answer

Using color as the sole means of conveying information excludes users with color blindness, violating WCAG Success Criterion 1.4.1.
