Today our LS&T team is hosting a Launch & Learn in honor of the 50th anniversary of the #Apollo11 moon landing. Team members get to launch the Apollo 11 rocket into space using a computer running Kerbal Space Program. #Apollo11At50 #UCF #RocketScience #Apollo11Anniversary

This is a great (free) service for anyone with an upcoming code interview or who wants more interview experience in general. Practice is one of the best ways to become a confident interviewee!

Haven't actually tried this but it seems clever: pramp.com/#/ It's for practicing code interviews. It pairs you up with someone else and you interview each other.

Did you know adding a full stop (period) after alt text makes screen readers pause before announcing the next thing on a web page? You do now. It's just like when you read with your eyes: punctuation matters. #a11y

One of our primary goals as Techrangers is to tackle all types of accessibility issues in online content. Great read!

✩ Designing accessible, inclusive websites means considering more than just physical symptoms. What about users with cognitive differences like inattention, anxiety, and depression? @authorbrandong shows how to improve site performance for these folks. alistapart.com/article/desig…

Due Date Changer is one of the many tools we have developed for faculty at UCF. It proved to be so useful following the events of Hurricane Irma that we decided to release it as open source for other schools to use in case of similar emergencies. github.com/ucfopen/due-date-…
'Due Date Changer’ is available for @CanvasLMS institutions as an #opensource LTI that allows a user to easily change due dates for multiple assignments simultaneously. This tool is useful in situations where the university may be closed for a day or more. ow.ly/JnPm30mh6yk

Accessibility concerns are both visible and invisible. This includes the digital realm, too. Consider many perspectives in development.
