에피소드 36: Beyond the Checklist: Transforming Digital Accessibility in Education
In this episode, host Monica Burns speaks with Alper Dönmez, Vice President of Quality Assurance at Jform, about the critical role of digital accessibility in educational and organizational settings. Overseeing manual testing, automation, and a dedicated accessibility team, Alper shares how Jform embeds accessibility directly into its product development lifecycle. The conversation highlights how accessible form design ensures equal access and seamless data collection across schools, universities, healthcare institutions, and non-profits.
Alper walks through the key features Jform offers to support both form creators and end-users, including pre-tested contrast-compliant color themes, programmatic field labeling, keyboard navigation, and enhanced screen reader support. He highlights Jform's built-in Accessibility Checker, an automated tool that flags missing alt text, broken heading structures, and missing required fields in real time. Beyond automated tools, Alper emphasizes internal manual testing and third-party VPAT audits, encouraging district leaders to adopt an intentional mindset: treat accessibility not as a final compliance checklist, but as the foundational starting point for clear, universal communication.
