EASI Free Interactive, Synchronous, Voice Web Conference Clinics

Besides EASI's paid membership Web Clinics, EASI will sponsor a monthly
free synchronous clinic open to anyone and everyone.

Announcing an exciting new venture using Web-based, interactive, voice
conferencing to provide hands-on know-how skills to make online
instructional content more accessible for learners with disabilities. EASI,
(Equal Access to Software and Information), has long taught month-long
online courses, but, now, for those needing short clinics on specific
skills EASI is launching two monthly series of synchronous 60-90-minute
events which will combine an online presentation with the speaker
explaining step-by-step procedures while displaying text and graphic Web
pages demonstrating what is described. Participants can even minimize the
conference window and follow the demonstration on their own computer.
Participants can also use voice or text chat to ask questions of the
presenter.

One series of events will be of general interest and be free to the public.
The second series will deal with more specific know-how related to creating
accessible information technology and will be fee-based. While this second
series is more technical, EASI will present it in a non-technical format
showing how accessibility can be achieved readily by anyone.
