Schools and universities are using more and more multimedia in their 
courses.  New software makes it easier to create, and many faculty are 
using it.  PowerPoint has long been popular with teachers, and narrated 
PowerPoint is attractive as a way to deliver lectures on the 
Web.  University Podcasts and Vodcasts will probably never be as popular as 
MTV but educators are rushing into this medium as well.

When a new wave strikes the Internet world, the issues of accessibility for 
people with disabilities usually comes as an afterthought.  These Web 
conferences will address this issue.

On September 11 there will be a demonstration of a new tool that helps make 
narrated PowerPoint accessible with minimal effort by the PowerPoint 
provider.  Check out this free Web conference at

** note registering will save a seat in the live event and, if you can't 
attend, will also get you a recording.

September 12 and running for 4 weeks is a series of Web conferences on 
Podcasts, Vodcasts and increased accessibility.  This fee-based series is 
$150 both for the live events and the recording.  Check it out at

EASI has also upgraded and enhanced its 7 online, month-long courses that 
lead to the Certificate in Accessible Information Technology.  October 
course is Barrier-free Web Design
