Accessibility Ambassadors: Pope Tech: Measure Website Accessibility
This presentation will provide an overview of the Pope Tech web accessibility tool and demonstrate key functionality. You will learn how to set up a website in Pope Tech, run a scan, locate errors, and track progress over time.
Pope Tech is a web accessibility checking tool available for use with UMN websites. Website editors can use Pope Tech to scan a website for accessibility issues and view a report of specific accessibility errors, along with their exact location. You can use this information to resolve accessibility errors on your website, helping your content reach its intended audience.
