Norm,

Is this course included in the Cal State EASI agreement?  That is, can Cal State University staff and faculty take it for no additional charges?

Subject: EASI July Course: Barrier-free E-learning

July EASI Online Course: Barrier-free E-learning

The Dick Banks Memorial Scholarship is available for those unable to procure funding:
http://easi.cc/scholarship.htm


The text for the course is:
Making Online Teaching Accessible written by Norman Coombs
The book can be purchased from Amazon and an accessible DAISY version can 
be obtained from

Bookshare.org

Barrier-free E-learning is based on the realization that content
authors, faculty and instructional designers, are placing their content 
inside a
courseware or learning management system. Most of the Web accessibility issues
relate to that interface, and only a few accessibility features are 
relevant to
the actual course content. The lessons show how to achieve accessibility 
using the universal design

semantic markup available in the familiar software they already use and know.
The information in Barrier-free E-learning will be useful for administrators,
instructional technology staff, instructional design staff and for any faculty
who post content for their courses whether those are distance learning courses
or merely online components of traditional campus classes.
Barrier-free E-learning course participants will leave the course with a
practical tool that will empower them to influence the accessibility of
e-learning at their institution.

The course is month-long and is entirely taught over the Internet. Lessons 
can be accessed at any

time. Each lesson will have an assignment to submit. Those who finish the 
course will receive a

document of course completion by EASI.
