Online Course STARTING JUNE 1: Barrier-free Web Design
Do you have trouble reading computer and software manuals? EASI will take 
the jargon out of Web design and out of the technical requirements for Web 
design.
Syllabus available at:
http://easi.cc/workshops/easiweb.htm

The course is based on the World Wide Web Consortium's Web Content 
Accessibility Guidelines version 2 which were released in Dec. 2008.  Your 
site probably won't require changes if they were accessible under version 1 
of the guidelines, but you will want to be up-to-date by understanding the 
new version.

Web pages can be created using Universal Design principles permitting Their 
use by people with different browsers, different connection speeds, palm 
pilots, PDA's and by people with disabilities using Adaptive computer 
technology.  The course will not require an extensive knowledge of HTML as 
it assumes that designers are working in some Web authoring sofware that 
does the actual Web coding for the designer.
EASI courses are entirely online, month-long and provide email interaction 
with the instructor.  Each lesson includes an assignment of several 
questions to be submitted.  These are to help the instructor know whether 
you are understanding the main points of a lesson and are not for 
grading.  On successfully finishing the course, you will receive an email 
document recognition your completion of the course.  While a short 
extension beyond the month's time limit may be possible, those who do not 
finish in the month will normally, at no extra cost, be placed in the next 
course presentation.  This course will count as one of the five courses 
required to earn the Certificate in Accessible Information Technology 
provided jointly by EASI and the University of Southern Maine.

The list of all courses and links to the syllabus to each is online at:

The mission of EASI, Equal access to Software and Information, is to 
provide universities, schools, libraries, businesses and non-profits with 
up-to-date information on making their Information technology systems 
accessible to people with disabilities.
