This @OZeWAI and @PerthA11yCamp is the one where I've felt the most apart of an Australian #a11y community who are supporting each other to get Accessibility on the web where it needs to be. A really great conference. #AusA11yConf

Perth’s Chris Leighton shares his perspective on how accessibility can become part of a university culture #AusA11yConf With over 1000 sites independently run, getting a coordinated and accessible experience while keeping creative expression is a big task.

I study teaching and learning in higher education. From all the research (and practice) I've done, I think what it comes down to is this: the most important thing for teaching is actually caring about the students and their learning.
