UK HEIs - A Case Study

In Sept 2002 a survey of accessibility of 160+ UK HEI entry points was carried out:

  • Used Bobby tool (to report on problems which could be spotted using an automated tool)
  • How many WAI AA entry points were found?

The survey found:

  • 4 entry points complied with WAI AA
  • One was a JavaScripted site (so isn't accessible)

The UK HEI Web management community is aware of importance of accessibility and wants to implement accessibility. What are the difficulties?
