Using interactive digital maps is now common practice for most universities. Increasingly, more users are introduced to their academic workplaces through online content such as Google Street View and virtual tours. Students with disabilities depend on environmental information to navigate the barriers they face on campus. While most webmasters for postsecondary institutions in the United States know their legal obligations for accommodation in the delivery of web content, legal conformance does not necessarily reflect awareness for social or spatial considerations in the design of campus digital maps. This study discusses an accessibility audit and content analysis of these interactive maps.

无声地图作为专业交流:社会空间考虑和信息可访问性的交叉点

使用交互式数字地图现在是大多数大学的常见做法。越来越多的用户通过谷歌街景和虚拟导览等在线内容被介绍到他们的学术工作场所。残疾学生依靠环境信息来克服他们在校园中面临的障碍。虽然美国高等教育机构的大多数网站管理员都知道他们在提供网络内容方面的法律义务,但法律一致性并不一定反映在校园数字地图设计中对社会或空间考虑的认识。本研究讨论了对这些交互式地图的可访问性审核和内容分析。
