I have a presentation with simple fixes for these common mistakes to help make your documentation much more accessible\, including correct heading numbering\, alt text for screenshots\, complex tables\, and more. It’s meant for the busy technologist who wants to successfully and quickly publish accessible documentation. \n\nPresenter(s)\n\nDana Gerber-Margie URL:https://itproconf.wisc.edu/event/simple-accessibility-wins-in-the-knowledgebase/ LOCATION:WI CATEGORIES:2026 Conference,2026 Virtual Only ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://itproconf.wisc.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/296/2025/05/Making-digital-accessibility-work_@0.5x-100-e1778194016277.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20260529T122000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20260529T125000 DTSTAMP:20260508T174522 CREATED:20260507T225204Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260507T225204Z UID:9196-1780057200-1780059000@itproconf.wisc.edu SUMMARY:What Could Go Wrong? Building a Long-Term Archive in the Real World DESCRIPTION:Virtual \nJoin the Zoom Event \n\nWhen you build a system designed to preserve data for years\, you quickly discover that everything eventually goes wrong; storage fills up\, transfers fail\, files corrupt\, and assumptions break under real-world conditions. This talk tells the story of our Long Term Archive system: how it started\, the unexpected challenges we encountered in production\, and how we iterated toward robust\, reliable solutions. We’ll cover concrete examples and share the lessons we learned the hard way so you don’t have to. \n\nPresenter(s)\n\nPatrick Meade\nSteve Barnet URL:https://itproconf.wisc.edu/event/what-could-go-wrong-building-a-long-term-archive-in-the-real-world/ LOCATION:WI CATEGORIES:2026 Conference,2026 Virtual Only ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://itproconf.wisc.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/296/2026/05/Lightning.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20260529T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20260529T131500 DTSTAMP:20260508T174522 CREATED:20260507T230557Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260507T230557Z UID:9204-1780059600-1780060500@itproconf.wisc.edu SUMMARY:Utilizing AI Tools to Design and Develop Engaging Online Compliance Training for UW-Madison Staff\, Faculty\, and Students DESCRIPTION:Virtual \nJoin the Zoom Event \n\nThis session will demonstrate how expert instructional designers on the DoIT-Academic Technology Learn@UW Team utilize AI tools and instructional technologies\, including LLMs\, NotebookLM\, and Articulate 360 AI Assistant\, to design and develop engaging online training. While our work is centered around UW-Madison and compliance training\, the same concepts can be applied across departments and institutions. We will discuss the steps we take to synthesize and organize content\, as well as assessments to evaluate learning. Finally\, we will end our talk with a review of best practice tips and tricks around using AI for instructional design purposes. \n\nPresenter(s)\n\nCori Schmidtbauer\nLily Sullivan URL:https://itproconf.wisc.edu/event/utilizing-ai-tools-to-design-and-develop-engaging-online-compliance-training-for-uw-madison-staff-faculty-and-students/ LOCATION:WI CATEGORIES:2026 Conference,2026 Virtual Only ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://itproconf.wisc.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/296/2026/05/Graduation-progress-square.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20260529T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20260529T131500 DTSTAMP:20260508T174522 CREATED:20260508T183811Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260508T185429Z UID:9338-1780059600-1780060500@itproconf.wisc.edu SUMMARY:DoH! How to implement DNS over HTTPS on Windows Server 2025 DESCRIPTION:Virtual \nJoin the Zoom Event (coming soon) \n\nDNS traffic is rarely encrypted on endpoints\, with plain-text queries going back and forth over the network on port 53. On an enterprise network\, this is usually not a concern\, but as endpoints leave trusted networks\, it is imperative that steps be taken to ensure privacy and security to mask DNS requests as normal HTTPS traffic. \nRFC 8484\, DNS Queries over HTTPS (DoH)\, was adopted by the IETF in October 2018. Since then\, Windows clients have been able to take advantage of DNS encryption: Windows 11 and Windows Server 2022 both support DoH. However\, Microsoft has not supported DNS over TLS (DoT) or DNS over HTTPS (DoH) in the past for its built-in DNS server. With the recent release of Windows Server 2025\, Microsoft has begun testing the implementation of DoH on Windows Server. While not yet ready for production\, this is an important step forward in providing end-to-end encryption for DNS queries on DNS servers that can be encrypted and managed centrally. \nThis presentation will go over the above\, then go into DoH and Windows Server 2025’s implementation and the lessons learned along the way. \n\nPresenter(s)\n\nJay Scholz URL:https://itproconf.wisc.edu/event/doh-how-to-implement-dns-over-https-on-windows-server-2025/ LOCATION:WI CATEGORIES:2026 Conference,2026 Virtual Only ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://itproconf.wisc.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/296/2026/05/Doh-square-1.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20260529T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20260529T133000 DTSTAMP:20260508T174522 CREATED:20260507T225833Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260507T225833Z UID:9199-1780059600-1780061400@itproconf.wisc.edu SUMMARY:So\, you need an Accessible web interface? DESCRIPTION:Virtual \nJoin the Zoom Event \n\nA triptych through recent additions to HTML\, CSS\, and JavaScript in the last 10 years that are useful for improving a bespoke or legacy web application\, which may not have been designed with accessibility in mind and predates some of the more advanced features that are now built into every modern web browser. \nExamples: \n\nBuilding a bespoke web app framework (like Django\, Dancer\, or Mojolicious) to separate server code from presentation while retaining as much of the legacy code base and structure as possible to avoid needing to rewrite the world\nUse of the HTML5 elements such as
and ; \, \, and ; text fields with client-side regex validation using the pattern attribute\, as well as accessibility using
