  • WAI Carousel Tutorial: 

  • Key requirements for accessibility:
    • Must be pausable
    • Keyboard navigation possible
    • Changes must be communicated clearly to all users
    • Keyboard focus is maintained properly

  • Auto-rotation or not? Better not to do it, but if you do, requirement of 5 seconds per slide (10 recommended).

  • Better approach: slide randomization on load
