Accessibility in the Digital World

In August, I went to this conference (above) in Dundee and gave a paper on MEDIATE (http://www.port.ac.uk/mediate) with my colleagues Chris and Paul. Even though the conference was very much focussed on web applications and our project is a responsive environment, we enjoyed it a lot. At least I got to try Haggis and do some Scottish dancing! Very recommended!
