> This month-long course, given bimonthly, is designed to demonstrate
> how to
> create web pages that are both visually appealing to all users and

teach
> HTML
> as such but focuses on web design features relevant for

> is ideal for designers who are not advanced web experts, for
> administrators wanting to understand web accessibility issues, for
> faculty, disabled student services staff, librarians and
instructional

> and on
> the work of the Web Accessibility Initiative. (This course is
> required for
> the EASI/USM certificate.)

> Advanced Barrier-free Web Design course
> The complexity of the Web has dictated the need for an advanced Web
> course
> that addresses new design intricacies. Advancements in Web
technologies
> can close the door for many users with disabilities, but in most
cases,
> this situation is not necessary. This is an eight lesson course that
> goes
> beyond dealing with graphics, tables, frames and the common access
> features. Advanced features like media, captioning, java applets and
> other
> popular sophisticated tools will be addressed. This is ideal for
> experienced web designers with knowledge of HTML, for computer
staff,
> for
> information technology staff, for instructional staff. (This course
is
> optional for the EASI/USM certificate.)

> Three continuing education units are available for each course. Anyone
> taking five courses will earn the Certificate in Accessible Information
> Technology provided by EASI in conjunction with the University of Southern
> Maine.
