persons with disabilities.

Explain a simple semantically rich XML vocabulary used in DAISY
standards;
Describe how formatting is done for print and on screen presentation,
and
how it is rendered in speech and Braille;

Video
and Audio Instruction

This is part of EASI's tuition-based clinic series. Individual
registration is $39 with special institutional rates also available.
While there are significant technical aspects to providing
accessibility
in synchronous video and audio instruction, whether those details have

using these technologies depends on how the instructor uses the
technology. This presentation will primarily focus on how the
instructor
can design the presentation in ways that maximize accessibility for
students with a wide variety of disabilities.
