The Beginner Barrier-free Web Design online course will help you adjust to
some of the changes happening on the Web.

The Web is changing in many ways.  From its beginning, the vast bulk of Web
sites were in English, but Chinese may soon be dominant.  Most users of the
Web were males, but now more than half of Internet users are female.  Most
users were young, teens or young adults, but seniors are rapidly joining
the information age to keep in touch with grandchildren.  Most users were
able-bodied, but many users with print disabilities find the Web opens a
new world for them.

How you code your Web pages can enhance and assist Web use for many users
with disabilities, with slow connections, with cell phone access and more.
You can insert text tags identifying a picture for someone who is blind.
Your code can identify the language of your page, and speech synthesizers
will change to the appropriate accent for that language. EASI: Equal Access
to Software and Information, teaches courses on accessible Web design.  It
focuses primarily on making the Web accessible to users with motor
impairments, with learning disabilities, with hearing limitations and with
visual difficulties.  These features do, however, have much wider
significance.

Beginner Barrier-Free Web Design begins Monday November 1 and runs for a
month. All EASI courses are on the Web and are instructor-led with class
participation.  Registration, payment and a syllabus is at:
