Still another week to register for the Barrier-free Information Technology
EASI course originally planned to start Setpember 6 will  now begin
September 13.
You can register until Thur. September 16 at
http://easi.cc/workshops/adaptit.htm

This month-long course is taught entirely online, any time from anywhere
and includes interaction with instructors and fellow students.  We will
help you provide information technology systems that will be fully
accessible to students with disabilities and will enable you to fill the
requirements of current disability legislation.


 Today's distributed computer environment means that providing support for
 the technology needs of students and professionals with disabilities is an
 global responsibility. It requires extensive planning and cooperation
 across several departments. "If it takes a village to raise a child, then,
 it takes the global commitment to support the adaptive technology needs of
 students and professionals with disabilities. It is no longer the sole
 province of the computer. It cannot be relegated to the disabled student
 office either. Seamless service requires campus-wide cooperation.

This course is designed to provide the broad knowledge of technology, the law
 and of student technological and pedagogical needs to facilitate such
 institutional planning.

 Lesson 1: Introductions and definitions
 Lesson 2: Four reasons to provide barrier-free educational technology
 Lesson 3: computer input problems and solutions
 Lesson 4: Computer output problems and solutions
 Lesson 5: Compensatory Strategies and Disability Etiquette
 Lesson 6: Access to print information
 Lesson 7: Access to physical facilities and staff training
