To address improving IT accessibility, the University of Illinois at
Urbana/Champaign (UIUC) is offering a free webcast for the Functional
Accessibility Evaluator (FAE).
Date: December 12, 2007

FAE is a reporting tool that was created to help administrators
monitor the accessibility of their web sites and provide developers
with relevant principles and techniques that can help them incorporate
accessibility in their designs as they develop their sites.
FAE produces reports by analyzing web resources for markup that is
consistent with the use of HTML best practices developed by CITA at
UIUC.
Reports include both page-level statistics and evaluations as well as
site-level data aggregated across a collection of web resources.
FAE organizes the analysis of documents based on the following
categories:
Navigation & Orientation: Inclusion of structural markup that
facilitates navigation and contextual orientation;
Text Equivalents: Proper use of images for interoperability and the
provision of text descriptions for non-text content;
Scripting: Avoidance of scripting techniques that compromise
accessibility and interoperability;
Styling: Use of CSS styling techniques to separate content and
structural information from styling and presentation;
Standards: Support for standards to improve interoperability and
provide more choices in the use of technologies for rendering web
content.
Additional information about FAE can be found at
