## 0. Pick a website and/or app and two tasks ## 0. Look over your assigned website and select 3 tasks
You may submit your top three choices for website/app from listing below and include at most one of your own on the [Discussion thread for selection]({{site.discussion}}) for this assignment. Our goal is to have *at least four students** working independently on each website. Note that there is a *task* associated with each website/app (and if you pick your own, you should also have a task in mind). You will be assigned to one of eight websites that were submitted by external organizations for review. Please see Canvas for your specific assignment group. Note that this is *not* a group project, we are asking you to individually work on your assigned website this week. You will join forces *next* week to write a report.
You will need to select what aspect of this site to test, you should have at least 3 different well defined tasks that you test. For example, for DSHS, you might select tasks such as something from the "How Do I" column; contacting support, and finding information about something in the Disability support section.
{% details List of Websites %}
- [DSHS.wa.gov](DSHS.wa.gov) -- Our community uses this site for public health services and disability support information.
- King County Library Systems
- [KCLS app](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/kcls/id746221889) (requires an iPhone). No specific task was provided, but they said "Assessing this App will benefit patrons with disbility who use this App to access KCLS resource"
- [Libby](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/libby-by-overdrive-labs/id1076402606?utm_campaign=libby&utm_medium=lightning_banner&utm_source=lightning). Again, no task is provided, just that it is "important for accessing library services".
- [HuskyAdapt](https://depts.washington.edu/adaptuw/) -- This is a UW student group. They say "A lot of individuals with disabilities and adults that work with individuals with disabilities access our website."
- [Mason County Elections](www.masoncountywaelections.gov) -- "It provides information on services available to help people with disabilities vote."
- Thurston County Government
- [Thurston County Auditor's Office](https://www.thurstoncountywa.gov/departments/auditor) -- "The county just relaunched our web content management system. In addition to our other public facing services, we also conduct election in Thurston County. We would like to especially know if our website works for all users prior to the 2024 election cycle." Focus on the Thurston County Auditor's Office section only.
- [Thurston County Board of County Commissioners](https://www.thurstoncountywa.gov/departments/board-county-commissioners) -- "This is where constituents go to get information on the activities/decisions/meetings/etc. of the Board of County Commissioners"
- Snohomish County Auditor's Office [Snohomish County Auditor's Office](https://snohomishcountywa.gov/176/Auditor) -- "We have recently received feedback from the Arc of Snohomish County that many voters with disabilities do not know about the options available to them for voting. We would like to be able to direct more people to our website, but have heard that there are barriers to navigating and accessing needed information. We want to embark on updating our website, but leadership isn't 100% convinced yet that this is necessary. This assessment would help to further make our case that an update is essential to improving accessibility of our services." They particularly want a focus on the information architecture; and it is ok to divide up the sub pages among all students assigned to this. Here is a suggested division:
- Animal Services
- Elections
- Licensing
- Recording
{% details Possible websites/apps %}
In the past, website have been sponsored by CREATE partners and community members. Student reports have been received by them with great gratitude, generating comments such as "This is fantastic" and "What an amazing and helpful report!" with plans to implement the recommendatinos. We also sometimes do a group of similar websites so that we can make a recommendation about which ones to use (if choosing, say, between grocery stores).
- [Commerce.way.gov](Commerce.wa.gov)
- TBD
- Other: We are happy to take submissions for other websites that you might want to focus on. If you do this, you must recruit *at least one* other student in the class (preferably three others) who will (independently) look at the same website

# How is COVID safety handled in this class?
All policies below are designed to match guidance from the [University
of Washington](https://www.washington.edu/coronavirus/spring2022/). It
is possible for guidance to change as the pandemic evolves over the
coming months, so we will update this page as rules/regulations
change. Much of this text was copied and modified with permission from
[CSE 163](https://courses.cs.washington.edu/courses/cse340/22wi/covid-safety.html)
and [CSE 340](https://courses.cs.washington.edu/courses/cse163/22sp/covid_safety/).
{% details Why are masks passed around in class? %}
Masking is currently optional, but ``strongly recommended indoors'' according to the [UW face covering policy](https://www.ehs.washington.edu/covid-19-prevention-and-response/face-covering-policy).
In this class, people in the room include those who are high risk with respect to COVID and people who live with vulnerable family members. To help support the needs of these individuals, masks will be available in the classroom as you enter, and if you would like to mask, you are welcome to make use of them.
When masking, UW's masking policy states
> University strongly recommends wearing a well-fitted, high-quality mask indoors (e.g., KN95, N95, KF94 and surgical masks) to reduce the potential for transmission. High-quality masks are available at no cost in several locations on each campus. University units can purchase high-quality facemasks from the Safe and Clean Storefront.
{% enddetails %}
{% details When should I attend remotely? %}
If you are sick or have potentially been exposed to COVID-19, **stay home**. We will not be
assessing you on attendance, so you will not be penalized for missing class to keep our community safe.
See more [here](https://www.washington.edu/coronavirus/faq/#health).
Below, we briefly describe the accommodations for students having to miss class due to potential
illness, with full information in the linked pages.
- [Lectures](index.html#lectures): Course content will be posted as a set of readings/videos
that can be watch asynchronously. Recordings of the live class posted on course website, and all
materials posted online.
- [Office Hours](index.html#course-support): We will host remote office hours.
Please contact the course staff on the [discussion board]({{site.discussion}})
if none of the times/locations work for you.
- [Asynchronous help]({{site.discussion}}) is available via the [Discussion Board]({{site.discussion}}),
post online to get asynchronous help from a member of the course staff.
{% enddetails %}
{% details Do I need to maintain social distancing? %}
Vaccinations and masking provide strong protection against the spread of COVID. Currently, UW does
not require social distancing in the classroom or office hours for students who are vaccinated and
wearing a mask.
Of course, some students might feel more comfortable keeping a little distance. If you would like
to keep space between you and another student, please kindly ask them to leave a space between you
and them if there is room available. Similarly, if someone asks you to maintain a space
between them, please respect that request if possible.
{% enddetails %}
{% details What if I get sick? %}
See [this FAQ](https://www.washington.edu/coronavirus/faq/) by UW on what you should do if you get
sick. You should also check out the [Remote Access](#remote-access) options listed above!
{% enddetails %}
{% details What if I am potentially exposed to COVID-19? %}
Follow the recommendations outlined in this
[flowchart by EH&S](https://www.ehs.washington.edu/system/files/resources/COVID-19-public-health-flowchart.pdf).
{% enddetails %}
{% details What if Jen or a TA gets sick? %}
The course staff is committed to keeping you safe, so we will not make you risk a potential exposure
to COVID to attend class. If one of the course staff feels ill, we will move any in-person activities
we are hosting to be purely online or have
someone else on the course staff fill in for us while we are potentially contagious.
Please make sure you check your email frequently for announcements from the
[discussion board]({{site.discussion}}) and before you attend an in-person event to make sure it is
still happening in-person. We will always try our best to give as advanced notice as possible for
any changes from in-person to remote for a day.
