Welcome to the DHS Section 508 Trusted Tester Study Group. This study group covers all web accessibility testing topics from the DHS Section 508 Trusted Tester Program.

What we will study:

Session 10 will exclusively talk about topic 17: Synchronized Media. This topic encompasses more Test IDs than most other topics in the programme, so it gets its own session.

We will go in-depth into how to test for these topics, which WCAG 2.2 success criteria the test IDs are based on, and (interactive) examples for passing, failing and not applicable content.

The series builds on our previous Accessibility Webinar Series. If you are new to accessibility auditing, review the recordings in advance or in between sessions, as we won't go into details that have already been covered before.
