Patrick Smyth, Jenn Kotler Notebooks for All: Accessibility & Jupyter Notebooks | JupyterCon 2023
Learn about the "Notebooks for All" project's efforts to improve accessibility in Jupyter Notebooks, including key areas for improvement, usability testing, and community collaboration, aimed at providing a better experience for users with disabilities.
- Jupyter Notebooks are a crucial tool for science and research, but they currently lack accessibility features, making it difficult for people with disabilities to use them.
- The “Notebooks for All” project aims to improve the accessibility of Jupyter Notebooks, providing a better experience for users with disabilities.
- The project has identified several key areas for improvement, including structuring the notebook, providing semantic elements, and improving navigation.
- The team has run usability tests with disabled developers and scientists, and received feedback on how to improve the notebook’s accessibility.
- The project has also created a flag system to help authors make their notebooks more accessible.
- The team is planning to release the findings and resources on GitHub and the project website.
- Collaboration is key to improving the accessibility of Jupyter Notebooks, and the team is open to feedback and contributions from the community.
- The project has received funding from NASA and the federal government, and plans to continue working on improving the accessibility of Jupyter Notebooks.
- The community is encouraged to get involved and help improve the accessibility of Jupyter Notebooks.
- The project has already made some progress, including improving the HTML outputs of Jupyter Notebooks.
- The team is working on creating a style guide for authors to make their notebooks more accessible.
- The project has also developed a checklist for authors to follow to make their notebooks more accessible.
- The community is encouraged to share their experiences and feedback on improving the accessibility of Jupyter Notebooks.
