EASI's Two May Courses
Barrier-free Information Technology
Creating and Repurposing More Accessible Content

The first of these month-long, online courses is a good, general overview 
of what is needed for an institution or organization to make all of its 
information technology accessible to everyone. Information technology 
provides the opportunity to make a level learning and working space for 
everyone, but, poor design can throw up new and needless barriers instead.

The second provides tips and experiences in creating accessible content 
using the authoring tools we use every day. Most of us never had training 
in using these applications and are self-taught. Mastering the features 
built into the application and structuring the content well will make our 
content better, more professional and more accessible. Using these features 
also means that when the content is converted or repurposed into different 
document or file types, the structure of the content will probably also be 
converted.
The course, for the first time, will begin to look at the e-book formats 
being used by today's e-book publishers.
