Subject: Free Training Webinar: Accessing Facebook.com with Window-Eyes -
October 22, 2015

 

Facebook.com is the world's most popular social media site. People all over
the world visit Facebook.com to stay in touch with family and friends,
connect with people that share similar interests and to keep up to date with
current events, politics, music, technology and more. Facebook has made a
commitment to ensuring all visitors, including those with disabilities, can
experience all that Facebook.com has to offer.

In this webinar, Matt King, accessibility specialist in UI Engineering at
Facebook, and Jesse Beach, accessibility specialist in Front End Engineering
at Facebook, will give us an insider's perspective on what it is like to be
a part of Facebook's accessibility program. Matt and Jesse will also provide
a high level explanation of several accessibility enhancements recently
added to Facebook.com plus a glimpse at the site's accessibility roadmap
moving forward. You will also learn about a brand new Window-Eyes feature
called web application mode that resulted from a collaborative effort
between Ai Squared and Facebook.

In addition, the webinar will also include an orientation to Facebook.com
and demonstrations of the following popular Facebook tasks:

1.   Navigating the news feed

2.   Reading posts

3.   Liking, commenting and sharing posts

4.   Posting status updates

5.   Searching for friends and responding to friend requests 

At the end of the webinar, attendees will be given an opportunity to ask the
Facebook accessibility team and Ai Squared staff questions about using
Facebook.com with Window-Eyes and other related topics. 

Whether you are a seasoned veteran, or a beginner to Window-Eyes, our hope
is that the knowledge, tips, and strategies delivered through Ai Squared's
online training webinars will enhance your Window-Eyes skill set and provide
you with the helpful information you need to be more productive and
successful on your computer.
